“Aloha Mai Kakou O Anaka Gigi keia, Hula, ‘Ōlelo, ‘Oli, Himeni (Mele)”

Aunty Gigi is a musical force to be reckoned with, specializing in Traditional Hawaiian, Polynesian and island contemporary music. When she’s not strumming her ‘ukulele, guitar, upright Bass or Electric Bass, you’ll find her as a Traditional Hawaiian Cultural Practitioner for Ke Ola Mamo, a Non-Profit Health and Wellness Organization. Aunty Gigi has traveled the world sharing her music and makes it her mission to mentor the next generation in the music industry while sharing the Aloha Spirit wherever she goes.

We look forward to seeing you there!
