Medicine Tribe Presents: Nahko - My Name is Bear
2017-12-14 19:00 - 23:00 | Hilo Palace Theater, 38 Haili St, Hilo, HI, 96720, United States
Live In Hilo (The Big Island) on Thursday, December 14th at The Palace Theatre!
Nahko (Nahkohe Parayno), a sixth generation Apache/Mohawk with a Puerto Rican/Indian mother and a Filipino father, grew up with the family that adopted him in an Oregon suburb, and suffered some early childhood identity problems until he began to ground himself in music, taking up the piano at age six, and in his teens, he gave piano lessons and directed musical productions for local schools. His talents landed him a seasonal production position in Denali, Alaska, and there, with the wilderness around him, he began to put all the musical, cultural, and philosophical pieces of his personal creative vision together.
Seeing music as international, multi-generational, and multicultural, and as a redemptive and healing force, he joined with his backing group, Medicine for the People, anchored by horn player and Berklee School of Music graduate Max Ribner and percussionist Hope Medford. Together they began making what has been called “thump-hop,” a percussion heavy, rainbow-envisioned mix of styles and approaches that is at times as much spoken word as anything else, a sort of 21st century medicine show for the mind and soul.

Synopsis:
Livin’ On a Rock tells the story of how a big island (Hawaii) shapes a small music scene. Starting with the famous tourist performer, Bosco: The Amazing One-Man Band, local filmmaker Steven Roby covers the island of Hawaii’s hard to find music scenes.
Despite a limited number of tiny venues miles apart, the musicians of Hawaii island have found ways to cultivate their craft. Whether it’s open mic nights, farmer’s markets, or low paying one night stands, the tenacious performers are a sturdy bunch. Those who land steady resort gigs are the fortunate few who can say they have a full-time job in the music business.
One of the bright spots for the musicians is the annual Hawaii Songwriting Festival, a three-day event where locals get insider tips from mainland Grammy and Emmy winners. Several of these instructors offer their insights about the Big Island scene throughout the film.
