An Evening with Makana
The March 1, 2003, Esquire Magazine notes, "Makana is considered the greatest living player" of Slack Key
Guitar. Many others agree. In April of 2009, The National Geographic Society (NGS) presented Makana in
concert and the event was recorded for the NGS Music Channel series "Geo Sessions". On their Web site, the
NGS wrote, "With five albums to his credit [now 6], he has taken this centuries-old tradition and blasted it into
the 21st century, fusing it with influences from Bob Marley to the Smashing Pumpkins, and opening for Sting
and Santana. See why this young guitar hero is poised to break out." In September of 2009, the San Francisco
Chronicle said, "His transfixingly agile slack-key technique and genre-crossing music have relit a fire for live
music in Waikiki." With such accolades, its hard to believe that Makana is only 31.
