“Kanikapila” is a Hawaiian word informally meaning “a gathering to play music.” Cupertino Lodge 70 hosts a monthly kanikapila open to all. The events are free for lodge members, but non-members are asked for a nominal donation. This is a fun way to meet new people, learn new songs and have a great time!
The house band, Laule’a (comprised of members Ron Myres, Les Wong, Randee Chin, John Hogle & Jim Kabage), leads songs from Hawai’i sung in English and Hawaiian.
Participants are encouraged to play an instrument if they have one, dance hula, sing, and have a good time!
Our kanikapila has successfully transitioned to being a hybrid event (in-person and virtual via Zoom) based on safety guidelines until we can gather again.
