Ledward Kaapana - Darren Benitez - Malia's Cantina - 1990

the band - Ledward Kaapana - vocals n guitar
Darren Benitez - vocals n guitar
Barry on bass
recorded live by me when vacationing in Hawaii in 3-1-1990. I had just purchased my first 8mm Sony "no baloney" camcorder for my Valentines day present.
Little did I know how useful it would come. What's meant to be will be.

Fabulous memories

Mahalo for sharing 🤙🏾
I was in Germany when they got together to reform uncle Led’s former trio, Led Kaapana & Ikona.
Here with Darren and Barry they were known as, Led Kaapana and the New Ikona. They only recorded one CD. And I ran that CD to the ground when we were sent to Kuwait during Desert Storm.
It made me homesick, something terrible. But, it also gave me strength to get back to my homeland.
Thanks again for sharing, Braddah.
Aloha!

error on my part - not Dennis but Darren Benitez - my apology

[@kylemoriguchi209]

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but that is not the late, great Dennis Pavao. That man is Darren Benitez, a legendary falsetto singer in his own right.

[@sashakoledin4673]

II'M SHOCKED - IT'S BEEN A WHILE - YOU ARE A BEARER OF BRIGHT NEWS SO IT IS DARREN BENITEZ. THANK YO KINDLY.
