Keola Beamer & Raiatea Helm

Slack key guitar legend Keola Beamer and twice Grammy-nominated Hawai’ian songstress Raiatea Helm create music that is generating a lot of buzz in the Islands. Their songs incorporate ancient Hawai’ian musical instruments into inventive arrangements of both well-loved Hawai’ian music and contemporary songs into something new and fresh. A highlight is a stunning arrangement of John Lennon’s "Imagine" (Ina) that weaves together slack key, Hawai’ian chant (oli) and falsetto (ka leo ki’eki’e).
