"NEW TRADITIONALISTS" HONORED: Napua Greig, left, went backstage at intermission to congratulate Aaron Sala, Robert Cazimero and Snowbird Bento at Sala's "New Traditionalists" concert Friday at Hawaii Theatre. Sala presided over a beautiful evening of traditional and neo-traditional Hawaiian music that included a newly written mele ku'e (song of resistance), "Ehuehu mai nei 'o Manoa." Sala told the crowd that this was the first time that his father, Samoan chief Sala Mamea, had seen him perform onstage, and added that he remembered Greig from their days at Kamehameha when she was single "and everybody knew her as Jay Nakasone."
