Sistah Robi Kahakalau Performs Free Benefit Concert at The Shops at Wailea May 15

Concerts at The Shops Performance to Benefit Hospice Maui

Wailea, Maui, Hawaii – (May 1, 2019) The Shops at Wailea welcomes Grammy-nominated pioneering female Hawaiian reggae artist Sistah Robi Kahakalau to Concerts at The Shops with a performance on Wednesday, May 15 from 5:30-7pm. The May concert series will benefit Hospice Maui.

Recognized as one of Hawaii’s most popular female vocalists, renowned for her distinctive voice and creative energy, Sistah Robi’s diverse background is brought to life through her music, which ranges from soft Hawaiian rhythms and funky reggae beats to American pop songs and Polynesian traditionals. Robi burst onto the Hawaii music scene in 1990, when she joined the Hawaiian Style Band singing lead on two highly acclaimed albums, Vanishing Treasures and Rhythm of the Ocean.  Her solo career began in 1995 with the debut of Sistah Robi, and she has since released four solo albums, has been honored with three Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards, as well as a Grammy Award nomination.

Concerts at The Shops is a free, monthly concert series that is open to the public and features headlining musicians from across the Hawaiian Islands. This community event occurs on the third and fifth Wednesday of every month at the main Fountain Courtyard.

In a continued effort to give back to the community, The Shops at Wailea supports a different Maui non-profit each month with 60 percent of the special event parking fees going to the selected charity. The non-profit recipient for the month of May is Hospice Maui, which has served the diverse community of Maui with quality, compassionate hospice care for 35 years. Unlike other forms of care that focus only on the patient’s physical needs, Hospice Maui also provides emotional and spiritual support for the patient and loved ones, as well as bereavement support for an entire year.

The Shops’ special events are designed to enrich the community through exploration and discovery in the arts and music, while supporting local businesses and non-profit partners. The four-hour special event parking voucher is available for $5 and can be purchased at the non-profit’s parking table.
