“Hapa draws from a wellspring of Polynesian traditions,
but with a sure-footed pop sensibility.”
— The New York Times

"I realized when I first heard HAPA's music that this was my modern-day
Bali Hai...they blew my mind!"  — Peter Fonda

HAPA’s pioneering sound has established them as “Hawaii’s most ambitious, diverse and imaginative music group” (John Berger, Honolulu Star-Bulletin). With a pulse and energy that make it entirely of today, Hapa's groundbreaking music connects firmly to the Polynesian past, featuring poetic ballads about the sea, the lushness of the land, and favorite chiefs all told through melodies rich in harmony and backed by virtuoso guitar. Add their signature dose of American acoustic folk/rock, Celtic and world influences and you have the essence of what Hapa music is: "beautiful, fragile, spiritual, powerful" (Los Angeles Times).
