Kahaunaniomaunakeakauiokalewa received her full beautiful Hawaiian name from her mother because Haunani was born in Hilo when snow had blanketed the top of Mauna Kea.
As a young woman, she developed an incredible voice that could dip lower than contralto, but soar to "G" above "High C".
Eventually, Haunani was billed as "Hawaii's First Lady of Song", dazzling audiences with her vocal range of low alto to high soprano.
For this show, we'll focus on music featuring the unforgettable music of Haunani Kahalewai.
