On Thursday 16th February 2023, we will be jamming on the island of Maui sharing love songs of Hawaii in Zoom, as it’s just past Valentine’s Day. For inspiration, check out the songs we did last year and videos from in-person kanikapilas (Hawaiian word for jam session) and timeless love songs. Be sure to wear your aloha shirt or mumu or something Hawaiian. Wear a lei. Bring your kazoo for this one-hour song session in Zoom at 3 PM EST (10 AM HST).
