On Island Time with Henry Kapono

Hawaiian music legend to take the stage at SOhO on August 5.

On Island Time with Henry Kapono

Henry Kapono is bringing his aloha spirit and rhythmic melodies to Santa Barbara on August 5. The Grammy-nominated powerhouse rose to fame in the 1970s as half of the iconic duo with Cecilio & Kapono (“C&K”) and has since become one of Hawai’i’s most beloved music artists.

A Kapahulu-native, Kapono’s music reflects his Hawaiian heritage and love for family, as well as the joy of island life. This love is reflected in his recognition at the Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards — having won 21 of them — including Male Vocalist of the Year, Song of the Year, and Lifetime Achievement.

Kapono continues to perform for audiences through live shows like his long-running “Dukes on Sunday” beach concerts, streamed weekly from Waikīkī.
