EKOLU: Live at KWXX's Hoʻolauleʻa 2019

When you hear the name "Ekolu," your first thought is about your favorite song released by these Maui Boys. Ekolu has been a part of the Island Reggae music scene for 23 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-plus years of being together, Ekolu has released 11 full-length albums with multiple single releases that showcase how the band has evolved as the years have progressed. Speaking of evolving, Ekolu has 3 main band members: 2 of them are originals and 1 is the newest and youngest member. The original main band members of Ekolu are lead singer and co-founder Lukela Keala and bass player and vocalist Makapu Ho'opii. Kalehua Kahele, the newest and youngest third member of Ekolu, has added his smooth, soulful vocals to this Trio. Their talent and live show performance show how a band that has been around for 23 years can still take part of this ever-changing music scene in Hawai'i today. #hawaiianmusic #reggaemusic
