Raiatea Helm: A Legacy of Hawaiian Song and String
2026-02-28 17:30 - 21:00 | Anaina Hou Porter Pavilion, 5-2723 Kuhio Highway, Kilauea, 96754
A LEGACY OF HAWAIIAN SONG AND STRING
In 2024, her masterful release A Legacy of Hawaiian Song and String, Volume 1 swept the Na Hoku Awards with 7 wins, including Female Vocalist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Hawaiian Album of the Year. An emotional touchstone in Hawaiian music, its songs originated during the Hawaiian monarchy era (late 19th/early 20th centuries) and serve as both a tribute to the past and a promise for the future.
Transcending its historical context, Legacy reclaims the narrative of Hawai‘i’s musical past, rediscovering the breadth and depth of this musical heritage before the story became overshadowed by colonial influences. Hawaiian string bands toured the U.S. with this music during this era, and as Folk Alley notes “Hawaiian music in the early 1900s was a global phenomenon, a driver of wide technological change. If you like the pedal steel in country, the slide guitar in blues, or even the electric guitar in rock, you owe a debt to Hawaiians.” Notes project collaborator Kilin Reece, of Kealakai Center for Pacific Strings, “It’s an incredibly vibrant and untold story.”
Her “Legacy” band includes guitar, ‘ukulele, steel guitar, bass, and fiddles. Raiatea captures the attention of audiences throughout her native islands and around the world, interpreting this Hawaiian repertoire with her awe-inspiring vocal mastery.
Raiatea Helm
Raiatea Helm, a two-time Grammy nominee and multiple Nā Hōkū Hanohano awards recipient, is recognized as one of Hawaii’s premier female vocalists. Among her awards, she was honored in Hawai‘i four times as Female Vocalist of the Year. A master of the art of leo kiʻe kiʻe – Hawaiian falsetto – she shares her pure, crystalline voice and passionate knowledge of Hawaiʻi’s rich history through traditional mele [songs]. Her music career spans 20 years and includes seven album releases, recorded and performed with legendary musicians including Keola Beamer, Aunty Genoa Keawe, Keali’i Reichel, Willie K and Mick Fleetwood.
