Slack Key Fest

Posted on 06.25.12 under Uncategorized


An all afternoon free slack key festival. Hosted and sponsored by Maui Arts & Cultural Center. This is the 20th anniversary.

Junko, Kaui, and Staci dance as Namaka and Ella sing. It was quite moving as their father, Pekelo Cosmo’s name was invoked. There were tears in the crowd. Pekelo, who died last year, mentored Ikaika Brown (wearing sunglasses). Namaka and Ella’s voices were sweet as angels…
