The Hawaiian Band named Kauwili was created by Zenia Panao in 2007. The band leader, Zenia aka Z, is a music teacher, musician, songwriter and entertainer. She teaches the ukulele, guitar and piano to all ages and plays a variety of other percussion instruments. She performed with her former Hula dance group, Halau ‘O Pualani (closed May 2013) for approx. 20 years dancing Hula and 16 years playing Polynesian music. The Hawaiian definition of Kauwili is to mix or mingle. The concept of the name is for the band to play a variety of Hawaiian traditional and contemporary cover songs with a diverse mix of band members. We do not have to be Hawaiian, as long as we’re Hawaiian at heart. We also perform Hawaiian-style, traditional and contemporary Christmas songs. Kauwili originally consisted of five band members who play ukulele, guitar and bass guitar. Since the inception of the band, the band members range from one to seven musicians. Percussion was recently added to the band. We also perform with Hula and Tahitian dancers, by request only. Kauwili performed at many venues around San Diego County, mostly private parties, luaus and weddings. We traveled as far as Los Angeles and Long Beach to perform at weddings. We performed at fundraising events such as the SUP Chicks Stand Up for the Cure for breast cancer research and Rancho Penasquitos Town Council’s Holiday Mixer fundraising event for Voices for Children, Advocate for Foster Care. We enjoy bringing the Hawaiian Islands to you by sharing the Aloha Spirit through our music.
