Nalani Jenkins, Lehua Kalima and Angela Morales of Na Leo Pilimehana, the biggest-selling female Hawaiian band in the world, are spending this year giving back to the community that embraced their talent at an early age.
The trio spoke to The Conversation on Thursday, the day after a concert at Windward Community College to raise money for music scholarships. They said a 40th celebration concert is in the works for later this year at the Waikiki Shell.
