The Hapa experience at the Danny Kaye Playhouse Saturday evening was kicked off by the master of ceremonies & Surfer, Peter Fonda, whom authenticated the Hawaiian event with his own unique Waikiki experience that was moving.

The dynamic duo of Irishman Barry Flanagan & Hawaiian Nathan Aweau did not disappoint performing in flawless fashion running up & down the fret board with great ease yet in a manner that could certainly put you to sleep as is the case with a gentle sea breeze or the cascading sounds of an ocean in motion.

Local talent Andy Wang, a former student of Barry Flanagan & Kihoalu artist, showcased his skills speaking & playing effortlessly with Hapa & for me, I could feel Andy’s excitement since it’s a high honor & especially for all of the work that he & his wife have done for the local Hawaiian community & the mother land in Hawaii promoting Polynesian culture with great pride & enthusiasm that is flat out priceless! I predict that Andy’s musical career will take off ten fold with the experience. Hana hou Andy!

Your performance was so much fun and the evaluations from the participants were great and with a lot of positive comments. I enjoyed spending time and knowing you as a person. You are so flexible and considerate. I will love to work again with you and with the rest of you.

It was just a wonderful vibe from beginning to end. We are so grateful for your generosity in playing all that music on our tiny stage. We just loved it!

Andy,

Just had to give you a shout to tell you how much we enjoyed the music and hula dancers at our luau for the Madison Cooperative Nursery School. Everyone keeps talking about the entertainment. You definitely were the hit of the night. Thanks so much!

Hi Andy,

You guys were awesome! It was really nice to hear some real Hawaiian music here in NJ. I'm from Hawaii and get home sick alot, and to hear the music just brought me home... Thanks!

Aloha Andy,

Mahalo is to small a word for the great evening you & your troop provided to me. I was brought to some many wonderful memories of my three trips to Hawaii. I hope that the lord blesses you with many of your dreams. You have a true passion for the Aloha spirit & keeping it alive. Thank you for what you do & will surely seek out your future performances & try to attend.

Aloha Andy,

We all are still talking and swaying to the reverberation of your music! Thank you and your "team" for making it so beautiful and fun.

I hire several different types of entertainers on a regular basis, but, I can't say enough wonderful things about Andy Wang and his company. Whenever I have the need for Hawaiian styled entertainment I will most certainly look no further than this Amazing company. Professional, Talented, Polite, filled with love in their hearts, what more could any one person want or need from an entertainment company?

Andy, Thank you so much for Saturday. Everyone had a great time. Having you there was a great touch.

We would like to thank you both for an incredible day of music and aloha you provided for HCF's holiday party, 2006. We truly enjoyed the selection of music, your charm and warm spirit that filled the room. (And, especially some of the island's oldies but goodies. YEAH.) Your spirit and sounds will carry us all through the chilly days of New York's holidays. A big mahalo for your kokua and for your enormous support!!!

Much love and aloha,
the Hawaiʻi Cultural Foundation

Andrew Wang, one of [Darin Leong's] guitar guests, co-wrote "Aloha Papalua," which clearly has Island resonance.

Distinguishing notes: Darin Leong has had a long association with guitar and 'ukulele; here, he has exceptional support from award-winning bassist Nathan Aweau, who's also a member of Hapa.

You guys were great! I'm a big fan, and am so glad that we can get REAL Hawaiian music all the way here on the East Coast.

You made the party great. And it was great to expose our friends to the "real" Hawaiʻi. Now they all want to go there. Will look forward to seeing you again soon. Mahalo, Doug
