Kapala is a group of music veterans and close friends that decided to make their own ‘imprint’ on today’s music scene, which has certainly been the case with their debut radio single 'Come On Home'. The members of Kapala have been part of some of Hawaii’s finest groups and it is from this experience that Kapala draws its inspiration and desire to make their own mark. Kapala combines traditional and contemporary Hawaiian music with country, ethnic, jazz, rock, urban, and soul influences, creating a style of music that is infectious, memorable, and rapidly moving to the forefront of today's musical tastes. Reporter Alexis Adams caught up with Kapala recently to learn more about this group and their particular take on the 'good life'. ALEXIS: What events led to forming the group Kapala? ALEXIS: Your song 'Come On Home’ has been a big hit on radio for its third straight month. What was your initial reaction when you first heard your song playing on radio? ALEXIS: What was the inspiration behind ‘Come On Home’? Was it drawn from a particular personal struggle? ALEXIS: Would you say that the mood of your other songs is in the same vein as 'Come On Home’? Do they all have a feel-good Hawaiian vibe? ALEXIS: : How would you characterize yourself as musicians? (Ex. Down-to-earth, serious, fun-loving...). |
