Biography

Ledward Kaapana, born on August 25, 1948 in Kalapana, Hawaii, is an American musician known for his slack key guitar skills. Taught by his mother and uncle Fred Punahoa, he formed the group Hui 'Ohana with his twin brother Nedward and cousin Dennis Pavao in his teens, releasing fourteen albums together. Kaapana's first solo album, Lima Wela, was released in 1983 and won the Na Hoku Hanohano Award for "Instrumental Album of the Year" in 1984. He has since released several albums, including Simply Slack Key (1988) and Led Live (1994), and performed at notable events such as the Smithsonian Folklife Festival. Kaapana received a National Heritage Fellowship in 2011, the highest honor in folk and traditional arts from the U.S. government, and has been nominated for multiple Grammy Awards.
