The eldest son of international music legend Bob Marley, he first achieved worldwide success with his first solo album, ‘Dragonfly,’ followed up by his 2006 Grammy-winning album ‘Love is My Religion’ and his third solo album, ‘Family Time,’ which scored him a fifth Grammy Award for Best Children’s Album. On April 20, 2011, Ziggy released his first graphic novel, titled ‘MARIJUANAMAN,’ and continues down the creative path with his most recent album, the Grammy-nominated ‘Wild and Free,’ released on June 14, 2011.

During the 1970s, Inner Circle became one of the most popular reggae bands in Jamaica, and one of few that performed live.

Roberts Hawaii Presents Lani Misalucha LIVE In Waikiki

With true international recognition, Lani Misalucha will grace Waikiki with her outstanding vocal talents as well as her incredible presence. Starting December 20, 2011, Lani Misalucha Show will be held in the Magic of Polynesia Showroom at the Holiday Inn Waikiki Beachcomber Resort, 2300 Kalakaua Avenue, Honolulu, Oahu, HI 96815 (Map) starting at 8:30 pm for this special engagement. This will be an opportunity for Lani Misalucha fans to be up close and personal with the performer as this show will be more intimate than any of her other shows. Lani Misalucha has a truly warm persona that will engulf her audience and captivate them throughout the entire show.

“I am looking forward to performing in Waikiki again, I have been to Hawaii several times and I just love its people and its diverse cultures,” shares Lani Misalucha. “This is a wonderful opportunity because I will be able to share what I love best with my local fans and the many visitors from all over the world. It is also very exciting to be working with new people for this show as well as to work with Roberts Hawaii.”

This special engagement show is definitely a must-see this holiday season and through the New Year as Lani Misalucha captures her audiences with her strong, pitch perfect voice as well as by her presence on stage that can mesmerize everyone in even the largest of crowds. Lani Misalucha Show will be fast paced and have an inviting selection of her signature songs mixing both glitz and glamour in a unique and colorful one-woman show. It must be remembered that Misalucha’s vocals are nothing shy of those of Celine Dion, and like Dion, Misalucha will deliver everything that the show promises.

Lani Misalucha Show will cover a vast assortment of musical styles, from R&B to opera to classic rock, and demonstrates Misalucha’s true abilities as a singer and performer. Audiences will enjoy her comedic flair and amazing vocal range shine as she performs her impersonations of Britney Spears, Tina Turner, Diana Ross, Celine Dion and Beyonce. The showroom will be filled with energy, enthusiasm and power throughout the entire show. A show like the Lani Misalucha Show is not about the stagecraft but rather the personality and talent of Misalucha that regularly brings audiences to their feet. Honolulu’s best musicians and singers will back up her award-winning solo act. Audiences will have the opportunity to experience this international star up close and personal in the intimate setting of the Magic of Polynesia Showroom.

Percy Higashi, President of Hawaii’s premiere promoter, Roberts Hawaii shares, “Thanks to Roy Tokujo’s efforts, we are thrilled to be able to bring a show of such incredible caliber to Waikiki. Lani Misalucha is an amazing vocalist and entertainer with devoted fans worldwide. I think she is going to ‘wow’ everyone who comes to see her show during this special engagement.”

Lani Misalucha

Misalucha’s career began at the age of 17. In 2004, Lani became the first Asian female performer to headline Las Vegas. She has been called “Siren of the Strip” by Show Biz Magazine on their cover and “The New Diva of Las Vegas” by What’s On Magazine. Her ability to sing/perform in all of these different styles has made her one of the most popular vocalists in Asia (dubbed as Asia’s Nightingale by MTV Asia). In March 2008, Misalucha was voted “Best Singer” in the “27th Annual Best of Las Vegas” by the Las Vegas Review Journal. This puts her in the same sentence as super-diva Celine Dion, the readers pick for “Best Singer.” As in San Francisco on August 17th, Las Vegas Mayor has declared December 4th “Lani Misalucha Day” to celebrate her talent. The list of her accomplishments and accolades is far too extensive to be shared in its entirety. From the Philippines to Canada to all over the United States, Misalucha has developed a following that has responded to her warm and delightful personality as well as to her incredible talent that she continues to develop with every endeavor that she engages in.

Lani Misalucha Show only tickets are available at $55 for general seating and $65 for a limited number of preferred seats. A kama’aina discount of 20% is also available. For more information about pricing, packages and to purchase tickets for Lani Misalucha Show, please visit http://www.LaniInWaikiki.com.

This is a show not to be missed. Lani Misalucha is a talent not to be missed. This special engagement will run from December 20th through March. The show provides audiences a Vegas style night out in Waikiki filled with world-class entertainment and, best of all, an International Star.

The 8th Annual Kona Surf Film Festival

The Kona Surf Film Festival is all set to start December 2 and 3 at the beautiful Mauni Lani Bay Hotel and Bungalows. Obviously we’d all love to be there to see all the top film submissions, but since most of us won’t be able to do that, we can at least watch the cool trailers.

Here are some of the films that will screen under the stars at the 2011 Kona Festival:

Come Hell Or High Water

Keith Malloy brings us a new surf flick featuring Mark Cunningham, Dan Malloy and Mike Stewart. Hell or Highwater gives us a different – beardless – perspective on surfing. The film explores the history and progression of the sport of bodysurfing and the pureness that comes from riding a wave. While Malloy is most widely known for his time in the water as a surfer, his exploration into the world of bodysurfing began some 10 years ago when he wanted to reconnect with the ocean and did so through bodysurfing. Said Malloy about this project, “It’s about taking a breath and kicking your feet in the big blue sea.”

The Drifter

In the summer of 2008 iconic surfer and former Pipe Master Rob Machado flew to Indonesia to experience a different kind of surf trip. A journey that would take him way beyond his comfort zone to the point where he could finally be alone with his thoughts, his desires and the empty perfection of an unnamed Indian Ocean reef. What did he discover? You never stop dreaming, even when dreams do come true.

The Kona Surf Film Festival is proud to welcome Rob Machado as a special guest and friend of the Fest.

For The Love

Quietly hidden from the rest of the world lies a small town filled with ordinary people, with extraordinary stories; Stories that never seemed to matter until now. Raised in Hilo, on the windward side of the Big Island, Cliff Kapono, screens his debut film and will attend the festival to share his insights and experiences from producing this work of art.

Leave A Message

Nike 6.0 presents this latest film project, starring the new generation of woman surfers who push surfing to the next level. Starring Carissa Moore (Hawaii), Lakey Peterson (California), Laura Enever (Australia), Coco Ho (Hawaii), Byrne-Wickey Monyca (Hawaii) and Malia Manuel (Hawaii), the film follows the women as they travel the world circuit to Australia, California, Hawaii and Mexico.

The Kona Surf Film Festival is proud to welcome Lakey Peterson as a special guest and friend of the Fest.

Lost & Found

Lost & Found is a documentary based on the discovery of 30,000 black and white surfing negatives at a flea market in Pasadena,California. As it turned out, the images belonged to Surfing Magazine from the iconic times of the 60s and 70s. It’s a journey over three plus years of reuniting and sharing the images capturing stories that unless told, would have been lost.

Watch the trailer here: http://www.corduroy.tv/lostandfound/

Year Zero

Year Zero is a modern take on high performance surfing set in a post-apocalyptic world, reminiscent of Mad Max or an HG Wells novel. It tells a story of a band of renegade surfers, including Dion Agius, Yadin Nicol, Nate Tyler, Taj Burrow, CJ Hobgood and Damien Hobgood on a road trip through the apocalypse in search of waves, women and good times.

Gum For My Boat

Gum For My Boat is a story of hope focusing on the Bangladesh Surf Club and its members. The club consists of around 30 male and female members and is helping to introduce surfing into a culture in a very unconventional method.

Lost Atlas

From Kai Neville, the creator of Modern Collective, Lost Atlas is a view of postmodern surfing. This is youth on the run set to a killer soundtrack that veers across all genres.

Sight/Sound

Artsy hip music, an über-talented bunch of surfers on long (and not quite so long) boards, and some very desirable line-ups. “As every surfer matures, so does their taste in surfing,” says filmmaker Mikey DeTemple. “These are my tastes and the people that really inspire me and some of the most unique and fun locations in the world.”
