Background notes
Archive material and source history
Ekolekua formed in Waimea, Hawaii in the early 2000s around brothers Micah and Kalei Gamiao and their friend Kyle Hanagami. They started playing Hawaiian music together, though the existing history mentions they faced some financial challenges early on.
Their song "Serenata" became their most recognizable track. The group's lineup included Micah Gamiao on lead vocals and guitar, Kalei Gamiao on bass, Kyle Hanagami on keyboards, Seth Kauahi on drums, and Keola Donaghy on background vocals.
They released several albums including Pua A'e in 2006, Ho'omau in 2008, E Wale No Ka Puana in 2010, and Ekolekua in 2012. The existing history notes their music sometimes drew criticism for blending Hawaiian traditions with other styles, though it doesn't specify what those other styles were.
They continued releasing music through at least 2017 with Live in Maui.
