I already posted on FB how fantastic Makaha Sons are/were. The show was everything we hoped it would be. The dancers were a nice surprize. did not expect them. Reminded me of Hawaii in the 50s when I was stationed @ Hickam AFB & went to private luaus. Got a big kick out of the kane dancer. The music, as always, tugs on my heart strings. Especially liked that they finished with Kui Lee's "I'll remember you."
Excellent in every way, it was a memorable experience!
Stand up bass player Eric Lee, 12 string maestro Jerome Koko, and 6 string virtuoso Moon Kauakahi played for two and a half hours of their greatest Hawaiian music (a little Tahitian thrown in for good measure!) and it was great fun! Jerome banters with the audience and has jokes and does some "talk story" about the good old days of Hawaii in the 70's, etc. They're "Da Best!" Aloha :)
The best!! Great classic Hawaiian music with a good balance of humor.
We had a great time! Thankfully I received a FB message from Steven Espaniola letting us know that Faith Ako and he went on stage at 6:00 and not 7:00. Our tickets (and the casino) said the show started at 7:00. Faith and Steven went on at 6:00 and played for an hour as people were coming in.
I really really enjoyed the entertainment. All of it!
The tent idea was nice and warm, especially during December. I also appreciated the big TV screens. The opening act was ok. The trailer restrooms were ok, but tacky. Andy was funny. As for Makaha Sons, it is too bad, the other performer did not show up. I understand he was sick. However, the sound and impact of the concert was not the same at all. All you fans of Makaha Sons know it takes all three of them to make their infamous music. The worst part, again, is the seating: too close to each other and no cushion. I would recommend going back to the ballroom.
The show overall was good. Background could have been decorated more with Hawaiian theme, and peformers could have worn more colorful Hawaiian shirts. Also, needed were more Hawaiian dancing performers that would have made it this show much better.
The show reminded me of when my father played the steel guitar with the "Hilo Hawaiians" the music was beautiful, the dancers were excellent. I enjoyed the easy style that Jerome and Moon communicate to the audience, it was like you were sitting on the patio talking stories and playing music. Jerome and Moon clearly love what they do. Mahalo!!
Always enjoy there show. I'd love to see and hear John play Ike and Jerome play the piano one of these time. Thanks for a great show at a great spot.....
Makaha Sons has always been a good concert and they are very entertaining. They had a few dancers which my wife and I thought was a good touch to their beautfiful music. We will go watch them next year when they come back!!
Makaha Sons inserted some jokes among their beautifully songs created a very relaxing and comfortable evening. I like the fact that they talked about the history of their songs.
The Makaha Sons concert at Villa Montalvo was fantastic. Great music, very entertaining, lots of laughs and in a very special venue that had the greatest memories for my husband and myself, a place where we were married 25yrs ago. HIghly encourage all to see whenever possible.
It was fantastic. So was the venue. Love those Makaha Sons. Try to see them whenever they are in the area.
Excellent concert was just too short, loved all the hula dancers as well
Just home from Maui by two days when my husband and I attended The Makaha Sons concert. It by far exceeded our expectations... the only thing that would have made it better was to see them on the beach in Hawaii. A great concert and we look forward to our next Makaha Sons show!
