Konishiki goes hip-hop in Sunday show

Advertiser Staff

Konishiki, the retired Hawai'i-sumotori also known as Salevaa Atisanoe, goes hip-hop in a performance at 2:30 p.m. Sunday at the Plaza Stage at Waikiki Beach Walk.

Atisanoe has become a recording artist and music producer in a second-career move, and will share the stage with artists from his H-POP label.

With some business partners, Atisanoe has established Lost Coast Sound, a music company, capitalizing on a hip sound blending Jawaiian, rhythm 'n' blues and hip-hop, with a stable of budding artists including Alga Save, Jabots, Silos and Kiwanis Vita.

Following the performance, an autograph session will be held from 3:45 to 4:15 p.m.

Valet parking ($6) is available at the Embassy Suites Waikiki Beach Walk, at 201 Beachwalk, or the Wyndham Vacation Ownership Waikiki Beach Walk, at 227 Lewers St, with same-day purchase and validation from a Waikiki Beach Walk merchant.
