The Holidays Take on a Tropical Twist With “Na Leo A Hula Christmas” at the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts on Saturday, December 3rd at 8:00 PM
CERRITOS, CA – Celebrate the holidays Aloha-style with the acclaimed Na Leo Pilimehana at the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts (CCPA) on Saturday, December 3, 8:00 PM. Tickets, ranging from $75-$30, can be purchased at the CCPA Ticket Office, by calling (562) 467-8818, or at www.cerritoscenter.com.
Na Leo Pilimehana brings the spirit of the islands to Cerritos in NA LEO A HULA CHRISTMAS, performing holiday tunes and the group’s greatest hits.
The spectacular also features a live band and Hula dancers from Le Polynesia Cultural Performing Arts Center.
One of the most popular and biggest-selling female Hawaiian groups in the world, Na Leo Pilimehana has won more than 20 Hoku Music Awards (Hawaii’s equivalent of the Grammys), including honors for the hits Friends, Flying With Angels, Rest of Your Life, I Miss You My Hawai’i, Saving Forever, and the No. One song Local Boys. The trio’s Christmas Gift and Christmas Gift 2 garnered Hoku awards for “Christmas of the Year” album.
In Hawaiian, Na Leo Pilimehana means “voices blending together in warmth.” The band was the first female ensemble from Hawaii to reach the Top 20 on the Adult Contemporary music chart. The group includes childhood friends Nalani Choy, Lehua Kalima Heine, and Angela Morales, who had their first hit as high school seniors when they entered a Hawaiian youth talent contest with the original song Local Boys. The tune ruled the top spot on music charts and won the prestigious Hoku Music Award, becoming one of the best-selling songs in the islands’ history.
The three women compose, record, perform, and run their own record label. However, “what they do best [is] make use of wonderful harmonies together to create textures of sound that feed into an easy listening, Adult Contemporary format,” praised the Honolulu Star
