Kalani Pe'a and Allan Cool talk about recent Grammy Win

JUST LOVE talking with Kalani Pe'a and Allan Cool.

"THE FOUNDATION of Hawaiian cultural values and practices start from home. We must become the pouhana (pillar) for our families and the communities we serve. We must seek courage and thrive together by becoming the kumu waiwai (primary and profound resources) for our people. That is essential. We can only thrive this way. But first, the Hawaiian language is the foundation to everything thinking and being Hawaiian," says Kalani Pe'a, Singer/Songwriter,  Lyrical Tenor, Hawaiian Language Practitioner, Visual Artist and Educator.

 

Two-Time Grammy® Award Winner and Nā Hōkū Hanohano Winner has released his sophomore album "No 'Ane'i" (We Belong Here) in 2018. In metaphoric meaning, Pe'a is describing and defining his Hawaiian music compositions with the intention of explaining to the listeners the values of maintaining our Hawaiian identity, our language and arts and building and retaining a strong foundation of Hawaiian cultural values and practices. Pe'a will take us on a journey through his life on his sophomore album with 8 Hawaiian original compositions and 4 classics with his renditions purely in Hawaiian, Contemporary and Soul. 

​On February 11th, 2018 Kalani Pe'a received his second Grammy® Award for "No 'Ane'i." Pe'a won in the "Best Regional Roots Music Album" category. Pe'a also had the honor to present 10 Awards at the 2019 GRAMMY® Premiere Ceremony Awards Show. He handed out a total of 10 Awards including 3 GRAMMYs to Brandi Carlile.
