 "COME LET'S PLAY MUSIC!"
Gabby Pahinui

                     During Gabby Pahinui's life, weekends at the Pahinui home in Waimanalo were a continuous jam session, hosting dozens of musicians, both young and old, who came by to jam with "the Master." Memorable guests included slack key masters Leland "Atta" Isaacs, Sonny Chillingworth, and Ray Kane, along with David "Feet" Rogers, Joe Marshall, Aunty Jenoa Keawe, Jessie Kalima, Palani Vaughan, and Peter Moon to name only a few. With a welcoming pot of beef stew and rice always on the stove, his Waimanalo home became the perfect setting for a rejuvenation of Hawai'i's musical traditions. As Gabby's fame grew, attendance at the weekend jam sessions mushroomed - sometimes hosting a hundred or more musicians and fans. The jam sessions would begin early on Friday morning and continue straight through to Monday morning. 

                      During the early 80's, Kanikapila sessions were again founded at "Pop's" Gabby Pahinui's namesake Waimanalo Park Pavilion to feature and perpetuate Gabby's contribution and his Hawaiian style kiho'alu-slack key music. It has long been the dream of the Pahinui Ohana to acknowledge Waimanalo as a focal point of Kihoalu and Hawaiian music by reestablishing these musical gatherings and their ability to perpetuate, and preserve the uniqueness of Hawai'i's musical identity.  And most importantly to recognize Gabby's contribution at the pavilion dedicated in honor of him and everything he stood for.

           The Gabby Pahinui Waimanalo Kanikapila is a "gathering of Hawaiian Musicians" who come together to recognize the community of Waimanalo as a center for Hawaiian music, musical preservation, and heritage by celebrating the contributions of Gabby "Pops" Pahinui.  
 
         This FREE event features more than 150 of Hawai'i's best musicians and hula dancers and also includes: community organizations, educational and informational booths, music workshops, cultural demonstrations and displays, lomi lomi massage, food booths, community groups, and arts and craft vendors.
