ICC Students go to Atlantis

Monday, June 30 2008 at 12:02 pm Intercultural Communications College Hawaii instructor Tad Matsunaga and a group of students from around the world took a ride on the Atlantis submarine.

The Atlantis Submarines are some of the most technologically advanced passenger submarines in the world. The submarine excursion takes you 100 feet beneath the waters of Pacific Ocean for a first-hand view of the fish, coral, sea turtles and sharks off the coast of Oahu.

You can see what it was like on the Atlantis virtual submarine tour page.

Waikiki by Moonlight: May 31st 2008

Saturday, May 31 2008 at 10:44 am The popular WAIKIKI BY MOONLIGHT block party returns for a third year on Saturday, May 31st, 6~10:00 p.m., after attracting over 15,000 people last year.

The WAIKIKI BY MOONLIGHT main stage will feature an incredible line-up of entertainment by today’s hottest musical acts, including:

Kumu Hula Howard and Olana Ai, Halau Hula Olana
Merrie Monarch Winners 2008 – Wahine Overall – 3rd, Kane Overall – 4th, Wahine Kahiko – 3rd. This distinguished halau has performed all over the world and been featured in many ad campaigns.

Teresa Bright
Multiple Na Hoku Hanohano Award winner. With one of the most beautiful voices, Teresa Bright ranks at the top of Hawai`i's best and brightest singers. Her renditions of traditional Hawaiian songs, often colored with a touch of jazz and blues, have distinguished her music for two decades.

Kalapana
The legendary group exploded onto the local music scene in 1973 and quickly spread around the world. Their music spans over three decades. Kalapana continues to be a source of inspiration for contemporary Hawaiian music and musicians today.

Mana`o Company
This group quickly catapulted to the top of the music charts soon after their debut in 1992. After a 9-year hiatus, the Mana’o Company returned in 2001/2(?), and have proven they still have the magic – winning multiple Na Hoku Hanohano Awards in 2002.

Here's a clip of Jake Shimabukuro at last year's Waikiki by Moonlight block party:
