KAMASAMI KONG MEETS
THE WAITIKI 7
Saturday, June 6, 2026 • WAIKIKI
Halekulani is pleased to present the next performance in its Live at Lewers Concert Series, featuring a special one-night engagement on Saturday, June 6, 2026, with acclaimed exotica ensemble The WAITIKI 7, hosted by legendary radio icon Kamasami Kong.
For one evening at Lewers Lounge, The WAITIKI 7 returns with their signature “Exotica” sound – an evocative blend of easy listening instrumentation and faraway soundscapes that transport listeners to another time and place. Rooted in mid-century influences yet performed with contemporary precision, their music captures a sense of escapism, rhythm, and quiet sophistication.
Known for their captivating live performances, the ensemble brings richly layered arrangements and a distinct sense of atmosphere, creating an experience that feels both nostalgic and entirely of the moment.
Throughout the evening, Kamasami Kong lends his unmistakable voice as host, guiding the experience with his deep connection to music and Hawaiʻi, adding context and character to the performance.
