Big Island father and son DUO, Mele’uhane, emerges the issue of more than 5 generations of paniolo cowboys, musicians, and composers as Hawaii’s newest World Music artists. Keikilani and Leokani Lindsey are lovers of most every musical genre, but they celebrate their love of ‘ohana and culture by continuing to ‘holo mua’ (move forward) in their unique interpretations of classic compositions, new original mele and traditional Hawaiian favorites.

In their deep affection for ‘‘ōlelo Hawai’i (Hawaiian language), Mele’uhane lends a new spin to ‘haku mele’ (Hawaiian songwriting) and join a new generation of Hawaiian stortytellers endeavoring to explore the many untold tales of the heart,… and rendering a song for each emotion.
