Artist 2 Artist: Henry Kapono & Robi Kahakalau.  Henry Kapono is a performer who has it all – vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, composer, thrilling performer, audience favorite, and multiple honors and awards, including a Grammy nomination. He has taken home numerous Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards, including Male Vocalist of the Year, Song of the Year, Single of the Year, and Album & Rock Album of the Year.  Hawaiian singer/guitarist and Na Hoku Hanohano award-winner Robi Kahakalau mixes the sounds of her native islands with elements of reggae, pop, singer/songwriter, folk, and rock balladry, plus the occasional touch of jazz and R&B. Not only that, her linguistic skills are as eclectic as her musical tastes; she’s fluent in English, French, Hawaiian, and Tahitian, and all four tongues show up on her recordings. In this popular concert series, Kapono talks one-on-one with his guests about their careers, followed by an intimate jam session and concert you don’t want to miss.  Maui Arts & Cultural Center, McCoy Studio Theater, 1 Cameron Wy., Kahului.  7:30 p.m. For tickets and information call (808) 242-7469 or visit www.mauiarts.org.
