Mid-Day Kanikapila with Ka'ea Alapa'i

Having a passion for Hawaiian language, culture and hula, Ka'ea enriches the lives of our keiki as a kumu with Ke Kula 'o 'Ehunuikaimalino – Hawaiian Language Immersion School. She’s also a lecturer at the University of Hawai'i Center at West Hawai'i Community College.

Ka'ea has had the blessing of traveling throughout the world and the mainland USA sharing her aloha through hula. Through almost 20 years of study, she has become an alaka'i with the award winning halau, Nä Lei 'O Kaholokü, under the direction of Kumu Hula Nani Lim Yap and Leialoha Amina. She is active in many volunteer activities throughout the community including the West Side Eagles Football and Cheer Association.

As a mid-day host on KAPA Hawaiian FM, Ka'ea continues her desire to humbly serve others. While strengthening and nurturing cultural identity by enriching community relationships through education, Hawaiian culture and language – she shares the simple motto, “Aloha kekahi i kekahi – Luvluv one another!"
