GRAMMY®-Award winning rock icon and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Carlos Santana and his band SANTANA bring two performances of the TRANSMOGRIFY TOUR to Hawaii to perform passion-filled songs from their forty years of career, including fan favorites from Woodstock to Supernatural and beyond: Sunday, April 30 at the Blaisdell Arena and Tuesday, May 2, 2017 at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center. Tickets for both concerts go on sale this Saturday, March 4.
Delivered with a level of passion and soul equal to the legendary sonic charge of his guitar, the sound of Carlos Santana is one of the world's best-known musical signatures. SANTANA continues to be the visionary force behind artistry that transcends musical genres and generational, cultural and geographical boundaries. There is much aloha for Carlos Santana in Hawaii as his artistry is a captivating melting pot that reflects the island culture that is Hawaii.
For 40 years and as many albums later, Santana has sold more than 100 million records and reached more than 100 million fans at concerts worldwide. To date, Santana has won ten GRAMMY® Awards and three Latin GRAMMY® Awards. He won a record-tying nine GRAMMYs for a single project for 1999’s Supernatural (including Album of the Year and Record of the Year for “Smooth”) as well as three Latin GRAMMY’s. He has also received the Billboard Century Award (1996), was ushered into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (1998), received the Billboard Latin Music Awards’ Lifetime Achievement honor (2009), and was the recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors Award (2013). Among many other honors, Carlos Santana has been cited by Rolling Stone as #15 on their list of the “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.” And, with the 2014 release of Corazón, Santana surpassed the Rolling Stones and is one of only two music acts in Billboard history to score at least one Top Ten album for six consecutive decades from the 1960s on. April 15, 2016 marked the release date of Santana IV, which debuted at No. 5 on Billboard’s Top 200 Chart and marks Santana’s fourteenth Top 10 album. Santana is currently headlining a multi-year residency at House of Blues at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. In the fall of 2014, Carlos Santana released his memoir “The Universal Tone: Bringing My Story to Light.”

Kyōgen, a traditional Japanese comic form, will be performed by the University of Hawaii At Manoa’s Asian Theatre Program.
Two Great Lords (Futari Daimyō ), a play from The Traditional repertory, brings the spirit of kyōgen to life as a passerby is commandeered by great lords out traveling, to carry their sword. In this delightful “weak overcoming the strong” parable, the passerby turns the tables on them, relieving them of their belongings, and yet somehow leaves them, and the audience, in laughter.
Program is sponsor by a generous donation from the Schindler family, through the Friends of the Library of Hawai‘i . This is a production of the University of Hawaii at Manoa Outreach College’s Statewide Cultural Extension Program with additional funding provided by the National Endowment for the Arts, Hawaii State Foundation on Culture and the Arts, and the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

Then one day a rose-colored mark appears on her skin, and those dreams are stolen from her. Taken from her home and family, Rachel is sent to Kalaupapa, the quarantined leprosy settlement on the island of Moloka'i. Here her life is supposed to end—but instead she discovers it is only just beginning. With a vibrant cast of vividly realized characters, “Moloka'i” is the true-to-life chronicle of a people who embraced life in the face of death.
