The Kalaupapa Memorial Concert
The rich history of music written at Kalaupapa will be celebrated by some of Hawai`i’s most well-known musicians in a virtual concert, “The Music of Kalaupapa,” airing on October 17 at 1 p.m. on different sites, including Facebook and You Tube. The event is being sponsored by Ka ‘Ohana O Kalaupapa.
The concert will serve as a fundraiser for The Kalaupapa Memorial which will list the names of the nearly 8,000 men, women and children who were taken from their families and forcibly isolated at Kalaupapa between 1866 and 1969 because of government policies regarding leprosy.
“The music of Kalaupapa is one of the most inspiring parts of this history, showing how people could overcome the sadness and separation,” said Valerie Monson, Executive Director of Ka ‘Ohana O Kalaupapa. “We believe the music helped people to heal and to find hope.”
From the earliest days of the settlement, choirs and bands were assembled. The people of Kalaupapa always welcomed ali`i arriving by ship with rousing music at the pier. Later, ensembles of Kalaupapa musicians and singers entertained at community events. Throughout the entire history, individuals were composing songs, chants and kanikau.
