BAMP Project & Island 98.5 present J Boog May 2nd & May 3rd The Republik
2015-05-02 18:00 - 19:10 | Honolulu, Hawaii 96814
Jerry “J Boog” Afemata, a reggae singer of Samoan descent, was born in Long Beach and was raised in Compton, California. Steeped in Samoan culture and as the son of a Samoan chief, J Boog’s large family has had a huge impact on his artistry. He is the youngest of seven brothers and one sister. He credits his sister with being one of his earliest musical influences. She played piano and he began to sing along when she brought home a Bob Marley songbook. Each sibling offered exposure to other genres, such as rap and R&B, which allowed J Boog a sense of freedom to be himself. This variety of musical influence combined with Reggae’s feel good sound that was embraced by the whole Afemata family, JBoog was set on a path to creating his own unique reggae sound. J Boog is keeping true to his namesake. Nicknamed “Boog” by his siblings because he could never sit still for long, J Boog is currently living and traveling between Hawaii and California. J Boog has not taken a break since the release of his debut album “Hear Me Roar” in 2007. It was his close collaboration with island music pioneer, George “Fiji” Veikoso, whom he met in 2005, that has helped spur the creation ofJ Boog’s unique sound, as well as pave the way for many other Polynesian artists. Another great milestone in the creation of J Boog’s debut album was when he joined the Hawaii/San Francisco based musical family, Wash House Music Inc. This collaboration started J Boog on a journey that would keep him plenty busy and would also provide the influence for his follow-up album. In 2008 J Boog teamed up with Yami Bolo and a member of reggae’s royal family, Ambassador Gramps Morgan of Morgan Heritage. He then traveled to Jamaica to experience the culture of Jamaican reggae. This being JBoog's first visit to Jamaica he did not expect to find himself working in such amazing studios such as Bob Marley's “Tuff Gong Studio” , Don Corlean's “Hit Maker Studio”, Bobby Digital’s “Digital B Studio”, Shaggy's ” Big Yard Studio” and Sugar Minott’s “Youth Man Promotions”. Guided by Gramps Morgan, J Boog found himself surrounded by several artists he himself had been influenced by and would later appear on his follow-up album, “Backyard Boogie” in 2011. Backyard Boogie entertained a great spectrum of reggae fans and invited new reggae fans around the world, offering a variety of musical roots, including R&B and Rock. J Boog got back to that feel good, be himself music that is uniquely his. “Backyard Boogie” topped the US Billboard charts and iTunes charts in numerous countries. Featured hits were “Let’s Do It Again”, produced by legendary Don Corleon, and “Sunshine Girl”, produced by Gramps Morgan/Dada-son and featured Morgan Heritage front man, Peetah Morgan. The success of Backyard Boogie earned J Boog the Best New Entertainer Award at the 2012 International Reggae and World Music Awards held in Chicago. J Boog is a true student of music. He is currently and constantly collaborating and recording, getting his sound out for others to enjoy in many creative ways. In 2013 and 2014 he recorded several singles both independently and collaboratively. In July he released the EP “Live Up!” on Washhouse Hawaii, which reached #18 on the Top Heatseekers chart and #4 on Top Reggae Albums. He has also worked on a mixtape release of his tracks called “My Diamond Life” for fashionista powerhouse Diamond Supply Co. J Boog has toured around the world in locations such as Europe , Africa, Dubai, New Zealand, Australia, United States, and Japan, just to name a few. His music is transparent and preaches that music is the only universal tongue. However, what stays with his listeners is his humility, his deeply engrained commitment to his family and to his proud culture.

BAMP Project presents Ty Dolla $ign
2015-05-01 21:00 | Honolulu, Hawaii 96814
BAMP Project presents TY Dolla $ign performing live in Honolulu at The Repulik, Friday, May 1st, 2015. Tickets go on sale tomorrow, March 27th at 9:00am at the locations listed below. This is an all ages accompanied by an adult event.
Right now, Atlantic Records artist TY Dolla $ign might be the hottest singer in LA. His breakout mix-tape, 2012’s Beach House gets nastier than Luther Campbell or Nate Dogg ever wanted to be. Drugs, sex, and stripper booty popping: Just the finer things in life. His hit single “My Cabana” was not only last summer’s 24-7 party anthem, it figures to be played in every pool and beachside cabana from here until the liquor finally runs out (or no more people can fit in). “Beach House is definitely who I am, so I’m talking that shit,” Ty says. “It’s everything that I’ve lived in life. It’s bringing that R&B and soul with a slap.” Ty writes some of the most well crafted and melodic pop songs you hear on the radio. Y.G. is signed to Def Jam and is one of the most popular street rappers in LA, but it wasn’t until Tywrote and produced his hit “Toot it and Boot it”, that he earned radio airplay. Welcome to the omnivorous world of the South Central- raised star born, Tyrone Griffin.
Ty Dolla $ign might be heir to DJ Quik’s title of America’s most complete artist. This is why he’s collaborated with everyone from top 40 perennials like Wiz Khalifa and Chris Brown, to West Coast hood stars like Y.G. and Joe Moses. And in the immediate future, Beach House 2 is adding a sundeck, Jacuzzi, and more bad chicks to the cabana. “It’s just the next step—some club joints, some slower ones. I’m saying things that every man feels. It’s going to get a lot of people laid this summer,” Ty says. “But I’ve stepped up the music and production, the singing and the videos. You’ll see. “
A local opening act will be announced soon.

Altar Native Revisted
2015-05-01 19:00 - 21:00 | Hawaii Museum of Contemporary Art, 141 Kalakaua Street, Hilo, HI, 96720, United States
Award winning Slack Key, Folk Rocker, Millicent Cummings presents a timely musical odyssey entitled, ‘Altar Native', (Revisited). Several of the songs to be performed were presented by Hawai'i Public Radio in 2008, the live recording of which was a Hoku Award Nominee. She will also be performing many new songs written over the past 14 years for each of the eight Hawaiian Islands about the inspiring beauty of Hawai'i, as well as the tragic paradoxes that simultaneously exist.
Musically, this presentation is as diverse as the people who coexist here, dancing from one genre to another…Through the ruckus terrain of Rock and Roll, the peaceful shores of the tender ballad and even the playful satire of the Irish dirge…Each in their own unique, slack key tunings for both guitar and ukulele.
Cummings has chosen to give a solo concert this time, unaccompanied and genuine…A time when the Hawaiian people and supporters of indigenous rights are uniting for a more sustainable future. She is an Aloha Aina Warrior, having played benefit concerts, produced festivals, rallied and volunteered countless hours on Kaho'olawe, Kaua'i, O'ahu, Moloka'i and the Big Island in restoration and preservation projects. This dynamic, eco-feminist songwriter sings with Aloha-filled, positive messages to honor the Land and the Children of the Land at a furtive and important cross roads in Hawaiian history.
This One Night Only concert will be held in the theater at the Hawai'i Museum of Contemporary Art in downtown Hilo from 7 to 9 PM. Tickets are $10 for members and $12 for non-members at the door. For more information visit www.ehcc.org or www.millicentcummings.com We hope you join us!…Malama Pono and ALOHA!
“Millicent Cummings is one of the most exciting new voices to come from the Islands in years.
Her songs are profound and her vocals are fabulous” -Jerry Santos of Olomana
“Altar Native is one of the great all time artistic, spiritual and political expressions of Hawai'i Nei” -Evan Tector
“A diverse and inspired contemporary individual, unique to Hawaii and the world.” -Makana
“Awesome, Awesome” -Ledward Ka'apana

2015-05-01 17:00 - 2015-05-07 10:00 | Volcano Village, Hilo, HI, United States
Hawaiian Shaman – workshop i tropisk paradis.
5 dages workshop på Big Island, Hawaii.
Du lærer Hawaii shamanens effektive og smukke livsfilosofi, samt praktiske teknikker der gør dig i stand til at bruge din egen indre kraft til at skabe dybere glæde, mening, sansning og harmoni i dit liv.
Mai-Britt Rosendal er uddannet cand. mag. og Hawaii Shaman, hun har arbejdet på fuld tid med en moderne shamans opgaver siden 2010, og har trænet Hawaii shamanens vej siden 1996. Hun er forfatter,kursusleder, kognitiv massageterapeut og healer mennesker, dyr og situationer.
På workshoppen vil du modtage undervisning om formiddagen, og du vil få mulighed for at afprøve dine teknikker på de smukke og enestående kraftsteder på Big Island Hawaii om eftermiddagen. Medbring både badetøj og lange bukser, vandresko og en varm trøje og jakke. Hawaii har ikke årstider som vi kender det, men man kan møde alle typer klima alt efter hvor højt over havet man kommer. Den aktive vulkan Kilauea som lader rød og blød lava flyde i havet uden særlige eksplosioner, befinder sig 1222 meter over havet, hvilket giver en temperatur på ca.17-22 grader. Ved kysten, som vi også besøger, er temperaturen mellem 25 og 28 grader med høj luftfugtighed, som dog føles blød og behagelig. Fly, transport og forplejning er ikke inkluderet i kurset. Vi overnatter i fælles bo-kompleks i den smukke regnskov ved Kilauea, og inkluderet er også en overjordisk udflugt til Mauna Kea, jordens bedste stjerneobservatorium på toppen af Hawaiis højeste vulkan (og jordens højeste bjerg hvis man måler fra fod til top) Den sidste dag vil du modtage dit deltager-diplom og vi slutter af med en fælles middag som fejrer Jeres nye kompetencer.
Deltagerantal er begrænset til 20 personer og det er en unik chance for at tage denne specielle Hawaii Shaman workshop på dansk. Din plads på workshoppen er sikret når du har indbetalt kursusbetalingen på 12000Kr. som dækker både overnatning, undervisning, materialer, afslutningsmiddag og Mauna Kea Adventure.

2015-04-30 18:30 - 19:11, 2015-04-30 18:30 | Wailuku Public Library, 251 S High St, Wailuku, HI, 96793, United States
Author Jill Engledow will talk about “New Adventures in Self Publishing” at [library and date]. Engledow, who has previously been published by traditional methods, recently put out a novel as both an e-book and a print-on-demand version. These two technologies, along with the Internet, are driving a new kind of book publishing that is still in the pioneer stages as writers and publishers learn how to best use these tools. For readers, the changes have meant fewer brick-and-mortar bookstores but greater access to a wide range of “indie” books and the convenience of downloading books to e-readers. Engledow will discuss how these changes are playing out and how several Maui authors are using these technologies to publish and distribute their own books.
Jill Engledow is an award-winning writer who specializes in Maui history. After working for 17 years as a reporter and editor at The Maui News, she became a free-lance writer in 1998. Her books include Island Life 101: A Newcomer's Guide to Hawaii and Haleakala: A History of the Maui Mountain. Her first novel, The Island Decides, is now available on Amazon.com.
