Ho‘okena is a mainstay on the island music scene and is synonymous with high quality Hawaiian music. Since 1986, the group has produced 13 CDs and won numerous music awards. Their latest CD, Meant to Be, was released last October and commemorates their 35th anniversary. It garnered them 2021 Nā Hōkū Hanohano Award nominations for Group of the Year, Hawaiian Music Album of the Year, and the Hawaiian Language Performance Award. A four-time Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards winner and three-time Grammy Awards nominee, Ho‘okena is recognized for their excellence in recording, composing and creating Hawaiian contemporary music. The group, consisting of Horace K Dudoit III, Chris Kamaka, Glen Smith and their hula stylist Nani Dudoit, travels the world to share their harmonious music, authentic hula and promote Hawaii's rich musical heritage. 

‘Moon’ Kauakahi formerly of the Makaha Sons will join Ho’okena bringing with him a repertoire of their favorites.
