ABOUT THE ARTISTS
BANANA JAZZ
Banana Jazz is a quartet dedicated to celebrating the past and present of video game music. They bring modern renditions of popular classics to life, while also exploring other genres like fusion, drum and bass, and contemporary pop tunes.
Explore their music here!

Mango Season
Based in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, Mango Season goes from acoustic island jazz to soulful & funky in just one set. They mix up a swingin' lead singer, vintage soul, jazz infused harmonies, and a juicy groove laid down by a mean rhythm section; all topped off with a sizzling saxophone. Mango Season includes some of Honolulu’s best professional musicians, all led by the husband and wife duo Curtis & Annie Kamiya (guitar & vocals).
Mango Season is a Nā Hōkū Hanahano award nominee for best R&B album, and also performed for the live TV broadcast. Mango Season was a featured performer with the Honolulu Museum of Art’s “Music Of Hawaiʻi” series at The Doris Duke Theater, is a recurring main stage showstopper at the world famous Blue Note Jazz Club, and has performed three sold-out shows at Hawaiʻi Public Radio's Atherton Theater.
Mango Season is also Honolulu’s premier wedding and event band, providing high-energy music for many hundreds of weddings and corporate events.

  • Capitol Modern - The Hawai‘i State Art Museum
    The free, contemporary public art gallery of Hawai‘i has evolved and rebranded, debuting a new name, creative gathering spaces and calendar of events. Formerly called the Hawai‘i State Art Museum (HISAM), the name Capitol Modern is meant to better reflect its location in Honolulu’s historic Capitol District and the vibrant modern art experience people have come to love.

    Capitol Modern is eager for the public to experience this next chapter in their evolution as the people’s museum, and the opportunity to reach diverse audiences in all Hawai‘i communities.
