WHO IS KAPAKAHI? Simply put, it's complicated. Like the multi-cultural mix of musicians that make up the band, Kapakahi is about celebrating diversity in all its fun, funky glory. Their music is a fresh and progressive mash-up of reggae, ska, hip-hop and funk and their energetic stage show grabs the attention of whatever crowd they're in front of. They aptly dubbed the title ?Urban Aloha? to describe their sound and vibe. Forming in San Fransisco in 2005, Kapakahi has grown into a regional touring act with an expanding fan-base from San Diego, to San Francisco, to Hawaii to the Pacific NW.
