Composers contest in its 31st year at Kauai Mokihana Festival

D

arryl Gonzales performed at the Mokihana Festival Composers’ Contest last year and received first place in the professional division.

In fact, he has swept the professional category two years in a row. But this year, he’s allowing someone else to take the trophy home.

“I’m sure there’s more talented writers out there that want to try their writing and

music skills in the competition,” Gonzales said.

Gonzales, who plays the slack key guitar and sings, plays music six days a week across the island and said he didn’t have time to enter the contest this year and defend his titles.

Those who are interested, however, can still compete in a concert-type setting on Monday at the Kauai Veterans Memorial Hall in

Lihue during the 31st annual Mokihana Festival, which is a program of the Malie Foundation.

“We have 11 entrants right now,” said Carol Bain, vice president of the Malie Foundation. “We want to encourage people who live on Hawaii and compose music so that everyone can hear it.”

The composers competition debuted with the

festival itself as a way to motivate composers to write traditional Hawaiian music with a contemporary twist.

“We go back in time to traditional songs and look at how the composers saw a person, or place, or event,” said Maka Herrod, executive director of the Malie Foundation.

“It was created to encourage others to write music now so that when future generations become our age, they can look at the music and see what was happening in our time.”

Every year, the Mokihana Festival organizers choose a theme and those who enter any of the competitions during the festival are awarded points for sticking to the specific theme. This year the theme is “Na Wai ‘Ola,” or Living Waters.

The event kicks off on Sunday with a Hawaiian church service at Kapaa First Hawaiian Church. The following week is full of cultural events like a youth music competition and hula competitions, as well as educational lectures.

“It’s a contemporary Hawaiian festival because we’re living in our days now,” Herrod said, “but it’s with a flair of music in the

traditional fashion.”

Gonzales’ winning song last year was a tribute to Mary Kawena Pukui, who helped create the Hawaiian dictionary.

And while he’s not competing this year, plenty of other talent will, while Gonzales is working on different projects.

“I’m currently learning the Hawaiian language, so I applied what I was learning to the song,” Gonzales said.

“Mary is responsible for revising the Hawaiian language through the making of the Hawaiian dictionary and I honor her for making the dictionary. That was the subject of my song.”

ere you bullied? State Rep. Jimmy Tokioka said bullying is not limited to just little people. “Even when you grow up, there are people who bully you,” he said Saturday during an anti-bullying campaign at the Kukui Grove Center. Augie T, guest emcee who also helped the Fun Factory with its grand re-opening and birthday celebration, said he was bullied when he was a youngster.

His daughter, Mahea, a junior beauty queen, said

she, too, was bullied when discussing her possible participation in the pageant. El Doi of the state Department of Health said the anti-bullying campaign was started last year when Kauai’s legislators donated prizes for the “Mauka to Makai, Bully Free Kauai” poster and logo contests. Doi said this year’s forum expands by including an Employee of the Year and Employer of the Year during its presentation with the theme of “Employment: Making It Work.”
