Aunty Martha Washington-Kalama dedicated her life to serving others through her music. She formed the original group, The Nani Laie Serenaders, who began performing in the community of Laie, on the north shore of Oahu, in 1994. The group's performances spread out to Kahuku, Hauula and the surrounding communities of Laie.
Their primary focus is to perform for service - for the love of their community and their love of the people - at weddings, parties, funerals, firesides and benefits. These kupuna really love music and it shows by the smiles they wear on their faces as they sing and play along with their instruments. Their music is so contagious that you find yourself singing, smiling and dancing right along with them. The Nani Laie Serenaders are truly a gift from God and gift to their audiences.
