Eight Gigs: Hapa

Sun., May 21, 7:30 p.m., Crest Theatre, $30-$45

The word “hapa” in Hawaiian culture translates to “half.” The Hapa group—Barry Flanagan and Radasha Ho ’ohuli and guests—exemplify their namesake with one member from New Jersey and one from Hawaii. For those who’ve never been to a Hawaiian show, a Hapa gathering could be a great way to start the tradition. With multiple albums to choose from, the group knows how to fill up a night without having to rely solely on a new release. Already a sensation in the States and abroad, the Hapa group will deliver a night you should never forget. 1013 K Street, http://hapa.com.
