メロディアスな音楽

ハワイの音楽ほど、ハワイのユニークな文化遺産を象徴するものはありません。ハワイの島々と同じく、ハワイの音楽は進化し続けています。文化的な記憶によって多様な音楽スタイルが結びつき、ハワイ先住民の叙情的な言葉で作曲され演奏されることが増えています。 

Some of these stellar greats can be seen on stage at Kani Ka Pila Grille. “Hawai‘i has deep musical roots, and Outrigger has long supported the perpetuation and sharing of our artistic heritage,” says Luana Maitland, events and activities manager for the OUTRIGGER Reef Waikiki Beach Resort. 

With the introduction of E Mele Ana, which loosely translates to “Come let’s sing,” OUTRIGGER builds upon its long-time commitment and support of Hawaiian music and culture with expanded sponsorships of local events and festivals.

“It’s great that (OUTRIGGER) supports Hawaiian musicians,” says Henry Kapono, who performs at Duke’s Waikiki at the OUTRIGGER Waikiki Beach Resort on Sundays. “It’s important that local musicians get a chance to perpetuate Hawaiian music.” 

Visitors can also experience world-class jazz at the legendary Blue Note, which promises great music programming with visiting musicians, as well as local talent. Located on the second floor of the OUTRIGGER Waikiki Beach Resort, the 9,000-square-foot facility seats more than 300 patrons in an intimate setting. 

As a further sign of its commitment to Hawaiian music, OUTRIGGER Hospitality Group unveiled a larger-than-life statue of Philip Kunia “Gabby” Pahinui at the Waikiki Beach Walk.

「ギャビー・パヒヌイは、ハワイアンミュージックを永続させるために、何世代にもわたるミュージシャンたちを鼓舞しつづけました」と、ワイキキ・ビーチ・ウォークを所有するアメリカンアセットトラストの会長兼最高経営責任者、社長であるアーネスト・レイディ氏は述べています。「ワイキキ・ビーチ・ウォークは、ギャビーと、ハワイ音楽の象徴である彼が遺した功績を称える、この素晴らしい像の立つ場所であることを光栄に思います」
