Luke Shepardson and The Green

Recently, Hawaiian Aroma Caffe in Waikiki partnered up with Luke Shepardson and renowned Hawaiian reggae band, The Green, in a fantastic celebration commemorating the Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational 2023. Shepardson, a revered lifeguard and the triumphant winner of this year's competition, is revered across Hawaii for his prowess in big wave surfing and his commitment to ocean safety. This talented waterman, frequently compared to actor Pedro Pascal for his looks, has truly personified the spirit of the modern day waterperson, making him a crowd favorite.

The high-energy event was made even more unforgettable by the musical contributions of The Green. Formed in Oahu in 2009, The Green has made a name for themselves in the reggae scene, fusing roots reggae, smooth lovers' rock, and contemporary pop and rock with indigenous Hawaiian musical and lyrical elements. Their unique blend of voices and perspectives has made them a cornerstone of the local music scene, resonating with audiences near and far.

Set against the vibrant backdrop of the Hawaiian Aroma Caffe at the Beachcomber Hotel, the occasion was a unique amalgamation of the thrill of big wave surfing and the soothing rhythms of island reggae. Attendees reveled in the heady mix of rich Hawaiian coffee, exceptional music, and inspiring tales of ocean bravery, culminating in a truly memorable celebration of Hawaii's enduring spirit and culture. This iconic event was a tribute not just to the Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational, but also to the power of community, music, and the ocean that forms the heart of Hawaiian life.

The Hawaii Walls 2023 event, which recently lit up the Kalihi and Palama regions, represented a celebration of mural art and community-building, blending creativity with the spirit of Aloha. For over a decade, mural art has been gracing the streets of Kakaako, becoming a significant part of Hawaii's cultural tapestry. Spearheaded by the visionary Jasper Wong and his Worldwide Walls group, in collaboration with Kamehameha Schools, this event sought to amplify the cultural impact of mural art, sparking over 70 vibrant murals throughout Kalihi, Palama, and beyond.

Amid the murals and celebrations, a standout moment was the delightful partnership with Hawaiian Aroma Caffe, situated at the Beachcomber Hotel in Waikiki. As a staple of local flavor and ambiance, Hawaiian Aroma Caffe brought an air of celebration and a sense of community to Hawaii Walls 2023. The cafe, known for its unique fusion of traditional Hawaiian coffee culture and modern brewing methods, became a hub for visitors and locals alike, exploring the artistic transformations happening throughout the city.

In essence, the Hawaii Walls 2023 event was more than just an art exhibit - it was a testament to the power of community, creativity, and collaboration. Hawaiian Aroma Caffe's involvement served as a perfect symbol of the event's spirit, creating a fusion of art, local culture, and hospitality. As Hawaii Walls continues to shape the visual identity of the city, the fond memories of this year's festivities at the Beachcomber Hotel with Hawaiian Aroma Caffe will continue to inspire the community towards inclusivity, innovation, and artistic expression.

Per Ekolu’s website:

When you hear the name "Ekolu", your first thought is about your most favorite song released from these Maui Boys. Ekolu has been a part of the Island Reggae music scene for almost 20 years. Ekolu released their debut album back in 1999, titled Down In The Valley, and since then, they have created their own style of music that started a branding of Ekolu Music. Ekolu has been one of Hawai'i's top favorite Island Reggae Music artists on the scene today. Within the 20 years of being together, Ekolu has released 9 full-length Ekolu albums with a few single releases that have shown how the band has evolved with the times of today. 

Speaking of evolving, Ekolu has 3 main band members, 2 being original and 1 who is the newest and the youngest member of the band.

Lead singer and co-founder of Ekolu, Lukela Keala and Bass Player, vocalist, Makapu Ho'opii are the original main band members of Ekolu. Joshua Kahele, who is the newest and the youngest 3rd member of Ekolu has added his smooth, soulful vocals to this Trio. Their talent and live performance show how much a band that has been around for a while still can be a part of this ever-changing music scene in Hawai'i today.
