This year, the renowned band straight from Hawaii, Kolohe Kai, is celebrating a massive Album Release Summer Tour. Staying true to their roots, the band's highly-anticipated album marks their 10-year anniversary. This time, their live shows are expected to get bigger, better, and pack hotter energy than ever. Plotting shows across North America, their fans are surely stoked to hear their anthems and Island Reggae hits back on stage.
On this night at Concord, CA, they'll be joined by special guests Iam Tongi & Fia. It's notable that the former sang Kolohe Kai's 2009 hit track "Cool Down" in the finale of American Idol.
"For the whole nation not to be familiar with Island Reggae, and for him to choose something from Hawaii, from his roots, really felt like his humility shined to choose to stick with who he is," De Peralta shared with KITV4.
Winning Season 21, Iam Tongi now has the honor of touring with Kolohe Kai as the legendary Island Reggae band takes their new album for a live spin. With a new collection of songs that share the very spirit of Aloha, it's a welcoming soundscape that share signature uplifting melodies & heartfelt lyrics. Every story just sends you straight into the vibrant sea.
Kolohe Kai marked their debut in 2009 with "This is the Life". Highly regarded as a pioneer in Pacific Island Reggae Music, the band quickly caught the public eye especially with their hit "Cool Down". Said to infuse "the localism of ukulele music with rhythms of roots reggae," their music packs unique character and sunny beats that one can't simply find anywhere else. Dedicated to the "Aloha Life", De Peralta actually turned down a record deal to keep his music as authentic as possible. The man said he "just wanted to surf and live a simple life and not be in that industry so I rejected it," explaining that he just wanted to enjoy being a Hawaii artist.
Around the world, the band has caught the public eye as they made music on their own. Their 2013 LP "Paradise" was awarded "Reggae Album of the Year" at the Na Hoku Hano Hano Awards, which is pretty much Hawaii's Grammys equivalent. In 2019 at the Island Music Awards, "Summer to Winter" bagged Reggae Album of the Year.
With a new album spreading the Island love, Kolohe Kai shows no sign of hitting pause. Each day, there's a playlist fitting the island vibes. Make sure to celebrate What Aloha Means with the band at their U.S. tour this year. Book those tickets now!
