Waipuna is an exciting collaboration of two talented individuals, Kale Hannahs and Matt Sproat. Their eclectic musical backgrounds and similar taste in music has led to the development of a unique sound that draws comparisons to their name, Waipuna, or spring water. After the release of their critically acclaimed first album, Manaʻo Pili, in November of 2009, the duo has been blessed with the opportunity to share their music with Hawaiʻi, the continental US and Japan. Kale and Matt invite audiences and fans to return with the release of E Hoʻi Mai, a collection of songs that pay tribute to where they have come from, recognize the people that have helped to guide them, and provide a glimpse as to where their music will lead them. Like the fresh water from the mountain spring that travels downstream bringing life to the loʻi (taro fields), Waipunaʻs music will rejuvenate your senses and encourage personal growth by providing a melodic serving of music for the mind.

Mana'o Pili is the name of this duo’s debut CD, which includes an eclectic assortment of songs that showcases their versatility, range and broad appeal. The flow of Waipuna’s sound honors ancestral traditions and represents the continuing evolution of our living culture. Hold this thought close as you enjoy their musical ho‘okupu.
