With a little Aloha

“With A Little Aloha” celebrates the Langley Ukulele Ensemble’s much anticipated return to beautiful Honolulu, Hawaii, this coming July, 2023. Not being in Waikiki since the 25th Anniversary Tour, in 2019, the world has evolved and changed in ways no one could have ever imagined. Knowing this, the spirit of Aloha still remains strong and at the core of the ensemble’s values, as the musicians prepare for this celebratory return. Integrating the spirit of Aloha in both the messaging and themes throughout the performance, the ensemble will present musical variety similar to their nightly performances at the beautiful Sheraton Waikiki Hotel & Resort. Knowing that they often perform nightly at the Sheraton Waikiki, this presentation will combine all the themes of music into one night, bound to be full of excellent music, laughs, fun, love, and appreciation. Highlighting music through the generations and nations, the ensemble will perform arrangements of songs ranging from the 1950’s all the way to 80’s, while featuring popular traditional, folk, and cultural pieces or songs from music around the world. “With a Little Aloha”, titled after Peter Luongo’s original song, uses the lyrics of the song as inspiration to choose music that can truly and positively touch one’s heart. With the ensemble poised for a much anticipated return to perform nightly at the Sheraton Waikiki, the production will also feature numerous traditional, Hawaiian songs and arrangements that are meaningful to the relationships and connections that the ensemble and Langley Ukulele Association has had with their ohana at the Sheraton, in Rotary, and locally in Waikiki, Hawaii for over 25 years. Knowing and understanding the importance of Aloha and its multiple meanings, the ensemble will perform traditional Hawaiian songs varying from playful love songs, to lullabies, and songs singing about Aloha. With the spirit of Aloha at the forefront of the evening, it is our hope to inspire all audience members through positivity, hopefulness, mindfulness, love, and appreciation for one another.
