MANOA VOICES CELEBRATE: Hula dancer Ku'ulei Hazlewood joined Manoa Voices -- Saphronia Smith, left, Justin Ka'upu, Rosanna Perch and Chadwick Pang -- to celebrate the release of the group's self-titled debut album with an acoustic concert May 17 at the University of Hawaii-Manoa. Manoa Voices won the Ka Himeni Ana acoustic singing contest in 2007, so performing without microphones and an PA system was not a problem. (For a review of the album: starbulletin.com/2008/05/23/features/ records.html.)
