E Ho‘omau Kaua‘i Festival at Kapa‘a Beach Park
E Ho‘omau Kaua‘i Festivals Concert will be held tomorrow at Kapa‘a Beach Park from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is free to the public. Natalie Ai Kamauu, former Miss Aloha Hula will be performing, as will the Pilioha trio with Glenn Mayeda Jr., Gary Kalehua Krug Jr. and Kamuela Kimokeo.
E Ho‘omau Kaua‘i Festival began in 1999 and is a grassroots nonprofit organization dedicated to the perpetuation of the Hawaiian culture through language, dance, music, cultural healing practices, health initiatives and the quest for self-determination.
Founder of the organization Keola Worthington Alalem said, “All our performers are of Hawaiian lineage because we want to represent the true culture and get away from commercial images.”
E Ho‘omau Kaua‘i Festivals create awareness among local residents who have lost touch with the culture that was here before Westernization as well as among visitors who may be looking for a glimpse of the true Hawaiian culture.
Private Kwan Yin collection for viewing in Kapa‘a
On display will be over 50 icons of the female Buddhist deity, as well as photographs and jewelry from Tibet and China. An open house will be held on Kaua‘i for five weeks: Nov. 23 to Dec. 30.
The collection includes bronze, wood, jade, marble and porcelain statues ranging in style and size from a small 14th century fertility icon to Tibetan Thangkas to large bronze statues from the western portal of the ancient Silk Road.
This is the first time the entire collection will be available for public viewing on Kaua‘i. Kwan Yin means “she who listens to the cries of the world.” Kwan Yin appears in many forms: male and female, miraculous and mundane. She is often seen in flowing white robes, holding a white lotus flower and pouring healing waters from a vase.
The Kwan Yin collection is the creation of Kate Sample, a video producer and educator who has lived in Hawai‘i for 23 years. The exhibit will be in a private home in the Kapa‘a area. To offer viewers a quality experience reservations required. Call Kate at 823-8820 by e-mail kwanyinkate@mac.com, with preferred date, time and contact information.
