The Brothers Cazimero are taking a brief hiatus in 2015 as Roland’s health is taking all of his focus. He is on the mend from two bouts of pneumonia in the last 9 months and his doctor’s believe this is the best course for him at this time. While both Robert & Roland are disappointed they won’t be able to perform together for their fans at the Ruth B. Shannon Performing Arts Center, Robert is promising to put together a wonderful show with Halau Na Kamalei. They plan to return in 2016 to perform together as they have since they kicked off the Hawaiian Concert series in 1994.
Music & Hula are the threads that weave the intricate patterns of Robert Cazimero. His musical talent was recognized at the age of three, followed quickly with piano lessons. Robert’s secondary education required participation in the Kamehameha Schools’ Concert Glee Club and Hawaiian Ensemble. He continued his music and hula education while attending UH.
Robert & Roland, The Brothers Cazimero, changed the course of Hawaiian music forever. They have recorded close to 40 albums, worked the finest venues in Hawaii & around the world, won countless awards and been privileged to be woven in the fabric of their beloved Hawaii. They both enjoy solo careers as well as their performances as Hawaii’s #1 duo.
