Ledward Kaapana — vintage Island Music, Island Hearts performance 🎸 A throwback clip of Led at full command: nimble picking, deep swing, and that easy conversation between bass lines and melody that made him a favorite on stages across Hawaiʻi and beyond. Filmed for the late-1980s KGMB TV series Island Music, Island Hearts, this segment catches Led in solo spotlight — the kind of piece he used to bring to backyard sessions and concert halls alike.

🌿🎸 Ledward Kaapana — “Radio Hula” (Live at AMSD Concerts, San Diego) A pure solo slack‑key moment. In this clip from AMSD Concerts in San Diego, Ledward Kaapana takes “Radio Hula” at an easy, mid‑tempo groove—thumb rock‑solid on the bass, treble line singing on top, and every turnaround landing clean. It is all touch and time, the kind of performance where you can hear the room settle down to listen. “Radio Hula” is a classic Hawaiian mele from the 1920s, written to celebrate the wonder of rad

🎶Slack Key Album of the Week: Waltz of the Wind by Ledward Kaapana This week’s spotlight is a master at full ease on his instrument. Ledward Kaapana grew up in Kalapana on Hawaiʻi Island and became one of the definitive voices of slack key, from family kanikapila and Hui ʻOhana to national honors. The feel is effortless, joyful, and deeply nahenahe. About the album. Waltz of the Wind (Dancing Cat, 1998) was recorded in Nashville and pairs Led’s slack key with country and bluegrass greats—Alison

🎸 Ledward Kaapana with Fran Guidry — “‘Opihi Moemoe” A classic Leonard Kwan mele in the hands of one of his greatest heirs. In this clip from Don Quixote’s in Felton, California (shot January 22, 2013), Ledward Kaapana takes the lead on “‘Opihi Moemoe” while Fran Guidry slips in underneath with second guitar. Led’s thumb keeps a rock-solid taro-patch groove, treble lines dance on top, and Fran fills the spaces with clean, supportive answers. It’s relaxed and playful, but every turnaround lands
