Kapena celebrated the start of 1999 with a bang, releasing their thirteenth album, "Kapena Is Da Crew." And the crew is definitely in the house with this one! Wayne Harada’s review in the Honolulu Advertiser said, "Kapena delivers the same spirit…(representing) the kind of hot licks the group delivers for its loyalists." Gear up for some serious foot stomping sounds that are a Kapena signature in songs like "Listen to the Music" and "Gin Gan Goolie," as well as Kelly’s emotional vocals in "Forgive Me."
The last year was a busy one with the release of Kelly’s solo album, "Jus’ Kelly Boy", including the chart topping, "I Cross My Heart." Golden oldies got a face-lift at Kelly’s skillful touch in "Tears of a Clown" and "Handyman" and endless summers waiting for the ultimate wave are recalled in his original compositions, "Pipeline" and "King Drop-In." The album has also been nominated in this year’s Hoku Awards. The months ahead promise to be just as exciting! Hot on the heels of "Da Crew" will be the release of Kapena’s Christian album, "On Christ The Solid Rock," a long awaited collection of spirit filled music. Between projects, the band remains a popular Saturday night fixture at Duke’s on the Beach at Waikiki as well as being in demand for numerous special events throughout the state and on the Mainland. In addition to touring the islands, Kapena will be electrifying crowds across the Pacific this summer in Tahiti and spreading their special brand of musical aloha in Alaska this August. The bright lights of the city beckon as the group looks forward to performing in Las Vegas, San Francisco, Utah and other West Coast cities.
