The Kapalakiko Hawaiian Band was formed in 1984 with the goal to preserve, perpetuate and promote the culture of Hawai'i. Our name Kapalakiko is from the Hawaiian word for San Francisco. Even though our performances are centered in the San Francisco Bay area, they also radiate throughout the state of California, nationally within the United States, back to our ‘āina[homeland] of Hawai‘i and into the international sphere of World Music. We perform not only to entertain our audiences, but to cultivate their knowledge about the rich history of Hawai‘i through music and dance. We provide "the good stuff" in the mele ku‘i tradition. We use both traditional and western instruments and the various genres of Hawaiian music to emphasize the beauty of the Hawaiian language, lyrics, and poetry to complement the hula. |

- 'o'o ihe - Spear throwing
- ulumaika - bowling a round stone through pegs
- moa pahe'e - dart sliding
- huki kaula - tug of war
- hu - kukui nut tops (Make your own to keep, then compete with it!)
