    Kani Ka Pila Grille - Top 5 Facebook Live videos - Live Hawaiian Music Back to all stories

    Top 5 LIVE Hawaiian Music Concerts

    Music soothes the soul and heals the heart. And during this time of uncertainty, we all need a bit of that.

    So we're honored to bring the music of Hawaii to homes around the world with nightly jam sessions from award-winning artists who traditionally performed at the Kani Ka Pila Grille pool bar, located at the Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort.

    We turned the nightly music lineup into a virtual jam in March, not realizing that the response would be so incredibly positive. Now, every night, tens of thousands of viewers tune in from across the globe. There’s even a “virtual tip jar” within the comments section on each performance raise funds for the artists. 

    The core lineup is included below with variations from week-to-week and special guests such as Bobby Moderow, Nathan Aweau, Kawika Kahiapo, Mark Yamanaka, Ho’okena, Sean Na'auao and more.

    If you’re just tuning in, make sure to catch up on our top 5 live concerts, as voted on by our fans.

    1. Mark Yamanaka

    In a clear crowd favorite, award-winning solo musician Mark Yamanaka performed live from his backyard in Hilo, Hawaii. Turn up the volume and listen to these Big Island Vibes.
