We are happy to welcome The Kohala Mountain Boys to our roster of Twisted Wood Artists.<\/p>\n

Boots Lupenui and Chadd \u2018Onohi Paishon, leaders of The Kohala Mountain Boys, are committed to uncovering and preserving ancient musical treasures that helped to define the moku of Kohala on Hawai\u2018i Island. The Kohala Mountain Music Project is an ongoing, exciting artistic search for Kohala is a storied place with a unique musical heritage that is in danger of vanishing.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomewhere in Kohala, there is an old man sitting on his porch with old songs playing in his heart and in his mind. If we fail to sit down with him and other k\u016bpuna like him and revive these songs, when he goes away, these songs go away.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

In partnership with The Kohala Center, The Kohala Mountain Boys seek to discover heirloom songs and arrange, perform, and record them in the beautiful settings in which they were composed.<\/p>\n
