Experience Hawaii, Like it's your first time

Da Kani Kine Rumba

The first album from Kani Kine, Chasin’ Rainbows fo’ da Rent, tells the story of island life — funny, real, and full of heart.
Born in the cane fields of Maui, this new sound called Kani Kine Rumba mixes Gypsy rhythm with island soul.
It’s the music of locals who grind hard, laugh louder, and still find rainbows after every storm. 🌈
Turn it up, feel da breeze, and hear Hawai‘i the way we live it — broke but blessed, always with aloha. 🤙🎶

🌺 Kani Kine — The Living Songs of Hawaii

Kani Kine was born in the sugar cane fields of Maui, where island rhythms and world sounds came together to create something new — a joyful blend of local reggae, Gypsy-style rumba, and everyday stories from island life.

Our music is made for travelers, locals, and dreamers alike. Whether you’re exploring the Road to Hana, catching sunrise at Haleakalā, or relaxing on Kāʻanapali Beach, Kani Kine is the perfect soundtrack to your Hawaii adventure.

Every song tells a story — from the simple island grinds and the laughter of small-town life, to the spirit of aloha that connects everyone who calls Hawaii home. We celebrate the people behind the music — the hard-working locals, the late-night musicians, the surfers chasing one more wave, and the families who keep the rhythm of the islands alive.

With every strum of the ukulele, every beat of the conga, and every laugh shared in Pidgin and English, Kani Kine captures the real heartbeat of Hawaii. This isn’t just a band — it’s a community movement built to lift up local voices, share island pride, and remind the world what makes Hawaii so special.

So whether you’re here for a week or born and raised on the islands — roll down the windows, turn up the music, and let Kani Kine guide your next adventure.
Island made. World played. 🌴🎶
