KOLOHE KAI - What Aloha Means

GATES OPEN AT 5:00 PM

Kolohe Kai has consistently been one of the most popular artists in Pacific Island Reggae music for over a decade. The project of singer/songwriter Roman De Peralta, born and raised on the island of Oahu, has produced 10 Island Reggae hits since signing a record deal at age 17. His sound infuses the localism of ukulele music with rhythms of roots reggae, and more recently, pop and R&B—pushing Kolohe Kai into an elevated tier of Island Reggae.

The popularity is undeniable as Kolohe Kai has been one of Hawaii’s #1 most-streamed reggae artists of the past decade with over 40 million streams in 2020 alone. Kolohe Kai’s album Paradise  was named Reggae Album of the Year by Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards, which is the Grammys equivalent in Hawaii. His 2019 record Summer To Winter won Reggae Album of the Year at the Island Music Awards, largely due to the success of the single Round and Round. Still, it’s the early singles Ehu Girl and Cool Down that remain Kolohe Kai’s all-time most popular songs on Spotify at over 41 million combined streams.
