Opening for Na Leo Pilimehana is FAIVA, the popular Polynesian/Hawaiian musical trio from SoCal.
Spend an evening enjoying the musical spirit of the Hawaiian Islands and its welcoming aloha culture.
It was 40 years ago that the world was introduced to the harmony of three high school friends, Nalani Jenkins, Lehua Kalima, and Angela Morales, singing on stage at the Brown Bags to Stardom talent contest at the Waikiki Shell. It was that performance that started it all for Na Leo Pilimehana and changed the direction of contemporary music in Hawai`i. With their original song “Local Boys,” Na Leo Pilimehana won the talent competition and put themselves on the map as musicians. To this day, “Local Boys” remains the #1 selling single in Hawai`i’s history. That was only the beginning. Today, the Nā Hōkū Hanohano award-winning Na Leo Pilimehana has over 23 CDs, and wrote, recorded, and performed more than 20 number one hits, with two of them hitting the top 25 on national charts, their music has marked life’s milestones for fans with their music becoming the playlist of their lives.
Organic good vibes and blissful harmonies light up the authentic uplifting sound of FAIVA across an ever-expanding repertoire. Made up of lifelong musicians Dr. Grant Muāgututiʻa, Vaea Aʻetonu, and Loa Greyson, FAIVA embodies the power of shared passion, vision, and devotion for the music of Polynesia. Though each member of FAIVA traces their ancestry to the islands of Sāmoa, they found their connection while living in Southern California. Nominated “2023 Best International Pacific Artist” by Pacific Music Awards, FAIVA embraces their heritage and infuses their music with the rich cultural traditions of Samoan music.
“We are excited to bring the Aloha Everywhere Music Series to Downey. Hawaiian music fans will enjoy our upcoming line-up as we bring culture, dance, and aloha everywhere,” noted Patrick Landeza, Executive Director of HIC Lifestyle.
The next Aloha Everywhere concert will be the sensational three-time Grammy Award-Winner Kalani Pe‘a performing a holiday show on December 14, 2024, celebrating the warmth and special ‘aloha’ of the season, sharing much-loved songs from both western and Hawaiian roots. Kalani Pe‘a is quite charismatic with a beautiful and powerful presence who will share the stage with special guests Kumu Hula Chase Keoki Wang and Hālau Nā Mamo O Pana’ewa.
The Aloha Everywhere Concert Series, presented by Hawaiian Island Creations (HIC) Lifestyle, started as a small surf shop on Oahu’s Windward shore. Through a commitment to quality, service and aloha spirit, the brand has built a reputation as an icon of Hawaiian surfing recognized throughout the world. The retail chain has grown to include seventeen stores across three islands, providing authentic Hawaiian surf gear to both locals and visitors alike and they subsequently branched out into the world of presenting Hawaiian music’s top artists, bringing excellent music, cultivating community, and nurturing culture by spreading aloha everywhere.

The Fountain Theatre joins forces with Design for Sharing, CAP UCLA’s K-12 arts education program, to showcase the culminating performance of Walking the Beat, the Fountain’s transformative community-building program that sees cops and teens working together to create theater. One public performance of In the Crossfire, a new multimedia work created by 15 teens and eight police officers, will take place on Sunday, Sept. 22 at 7 p.m. at the UCLA Nimoy Theater. Admission is free, but reservations are required (subject to availability). A free student matinee will follow on Monday, Sept. 23, allowing 250 students from across Los Angeles County to experience the finished work and talk with the cast and creators.

Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum presents a 70th anniversary screening of Salt of the Earth, the controversial 1954 film written by Michael Wilson, directed by Herbert J. Biberman, and produced by Paul Jarrico. A story of resilience, solidarity and the courageous fight for dignity in the face of adversity, Salt of the Earth was attacked and censored because the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers, which had been expelled from the CIO in 1950 over the alleged domination of its leadership by communists, sponsored it — and because many blacklisted Hollywood professionals helped make it.
