Originally formed in 2001, the Ho'omana Hawaiian
Band is known throughout Northern and Central California as one
of the top recording and performing groups, with an instantly recognizable
sound, focusing on fresh arrangements of traditional and contemporary
Hawaiian songs with beautiful three-part harmonies.
A very tight trio, Ho'omana features six-string rhythm and slack-key
guitars, ukulele and bass. The band is led by Manley Bush (lead
& background vocals, 6-string slack-key guitar, and ukulele). Manley
was born in Honolulu, HI, raised in Kapa'a, Kaua'i and Waimanalo.
His musical talents were self-taught and began at a young age, influenced
by the masters of Hawaiian music and Slack-key Guitar, such as Gabby
Pahinui and Sons and the Sons of Hawai'i, among others. Manley is
also a co-founder of the annual "Aloha Festival" in San Francisco.
The group also features Robert Uncangco on lead & background vocals
and 6-string rhythm guitar, and Eddy Navarro on Bass.
Hawaiian Dancers can also be added for an additional charge.
