IT'S TIME TO LET THEM KNOW ON VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`I'S FUTURE
A big mahalo to all who let us know how inspired they felt after watching our visit with Andre Perez of Hui Pu last week.
We agree – it’s easy getting motivated after watching Andre, hearing all he’s been through and still not letting up for a second to help restore a Free Hawai`i.
One simple thing everyone can do right now is contact your representatives and let them know you want public hearings held this year on each of the islands in Hawai`i on the Akaka bill.
It’s been seven years since the last hearing was held anywhere in the islands and that one was brought to a quick conclusion when people packed the place to voice their strong opposition.
Since then only one other hearing was held, that one in Washington, DC – and no opposition was allowed to testify.
What are they afraid of?
Might it be that the people of Hawai`i are overwhelmingly opposed to federal recognition?
The truth is out there, and we have patriots this week who are not afraid to say it – or even sing it - right here on Voices Of Truth – One-On-One With Hawai`i’s Future.
NEW PROGRAMMING CHANGE NOTES - Voices Of Truth – One-On-One With Hawai`i’s Future is now seen on Maui on Akaku, Channel 53 on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 PM and Wednesday mornings at 6:30 AM and across Hawai`i Island now on Channel 53, Na Leo at our regularly scheduled days and times.

SATURDAY, February 10th At 8:00 PM – O`ahu - ‘Olelo, Channel 53
“Songs For Our Soul – A Visit With Liko Martin”
Hawai`i has a lot of singers and songwriters, but none more talented than Liko Martin.
We’ve been trying to get Liko to join us on the show for quite a while and it was definitely worth the wait.
Liko is a musician’s musician – his talents and abilities are up there with the best the world over.
He tells us details of his just finished sessions in a recording studio in Oakland, California with “A list” performers, and even about a Hawaiian opera he’s currently writing!
Perhaps best known for his “Hawai`i Loa Ku Like Kakou, All Hawai`i Stand Together,” Liko has seen and done it all – from Hollywood to Hawai`i, and for the first time reveals what the journey has been like and taught him.
Here’s your opportunity to catch one of Hawai`i’s most unique and treasured talents as he talks about his life, his music, how it comes to him, the role model that inspired it all and how he went from living in a car on the streets of Los Angeles to being one of Hawai`i’s premier musicians today.
TUESDAY, February 6th At 6:30 PM & WEDNESDAY, February 7th At 6:30 AM – Maui – Akaku, Channel 53
THURSDAY, February 8th At 8:30 PM & FRIDAY, February 9th At 8:30 AM – Kaua`i – Ho`ike, Channel 52
“A Journey Of Occupation – A Visit With Andre Perez”
What would it be like to be in the US military for eight years, then find yourself living on the streets?
That’s what happened to Andre Perez who went from one extreme to another.
And from the streets, he found his way into the Kaho`olawe occupation, which, by his own accounts, was a life-changing experience.
It had to be because Andre’s never at a loss for words when it comes to defending his people that led him to the next chapter of his life.
Currently the spokesperson for Hui Pu, as well as a Halau Lokahi teacher, Andre recently found himself in the middle of yet another occupation – the dramatic taking of `Iolani Palace last year by Hui Pu to publicly oppose the Akaka bill.
As we look to the future of Hawai`i, we’re sure you’ll agree with us that Andre and others like him will play a prominent role in it.
Don’t miss our visit with Andre who’s part of the new generation of warriors who are as fearless as they are articulate. You’ll see why he’s a role model for the `opio (younger generation) of today as well as a leader for tomorrow.
Voices Of Truth interviews those creating a better future for Hawai`i to discover what made them go from armchair observers to active participants in the hopes of inspiring viewers to do the same.
