Through the Aloha Music Series\, Uncle Benny will introduce you to the new sounds from the islands and transport you to old Hawaiʻi as he hosts upcoming artists and Hawaiʻi’s legends. You never know who is gonna show up and kanikapila!!\nBenny has played with some of the world’s finest musicians on Maui and while touring. Over the years Benny has shared the stage with some of Hawaiʻi’s greatest trailblazers like Uncle Willie K and Barry Flanagan of HAPA\, as well as the world’s most talented jazz players Les McCann\, Russel Malone\, and Donald Harrison. His versatility comes from his years of musical study in different genres with mentors in classical\, jazz\, Hawaiian\, Blues\, and rock.\nANTHONY PFLUKE\nBorn and raised in Maui\, Anthony has been rooted in Hawaiian music from an early age\, forging an original path perpetuating the music of his home. Writing and performing Hawaiian\, contemporary\, and reggae-influenced music on the ‘Ukulele\, and 12 & 6 string Kīho‘alu (Slack key Guitar)\, he is continuing his education in Hawaiian Studies at UH Hilo while following music wherever it takes him.\nAnthony has entertained across the State of Hawai‘i\, the west coast\, and Japan\, playing with some of Hawai‘i’s most iconic musicians. Anthonyʻs latest single “Lahaina Strong” is In dedication to those affected by the Lahaina fire\, with hopes of a brighter future for Maui. This Nā Hōkū Hanohano finalist is a rising star in the islands and definitely one to watch!\nLOPAKA COLON\nBorn in Hawaii\, Lopaka Colón Jr. is an established percussionist and multi “Na Hoku Hanohano” award winner (Hawaii’s version of the Grammy’s). He’s the son of the famous percussionist Augie Colón\, and has since a young age followed in his father steps – he attended the University of Hawaii for 6 years majoring in Ethnomusicology.\nIn the late 90’s\, Lopaka was part of the successful Pure Heart band\, rated in the top-50 Musical Groups of All Times of Hawaii and also one of Hawaii’s youngest musical groups ever to take the local music scene by storm in such a short period. The group later evolved into Colón (named in honor of Lopakaʻs father). Both bands won the People’s Choice award at the Hokuʻs as Favorite Entertainers of the Year for 2 years in a row. He has collaborated with majority of Hawaii’s top-notch musicians either doing studio work\, live performances\, or just having fun “Kanikapila”(musical jam).\nLopaka is a member of the Waitiki Exotica Septet\, in which he performs percussion and exotic birds and animals sounds\, and he is also a key component in the success of several local bands like the Grammy-nominated Wild Hawaiian (a project with the Henry Kapono band)\, Po & the 4Fathers\, the Barefoot Natives\, the Makana trio\, The Mana Maoli Collective\, Don Tiki\, to name a few.
