RIP To a Master Drum Maker

"William Kua Mo’o Helelani Kealoha Kapuni, 61, died after a long illness with his wife Victoria bedside. A Kahuna Lakai Pahu, or master drum maker, Kapuni was to appear in the Maui Canoe Festival this week with a drum he built for the occasion. The drum will instead ride a float in the parade, alone, the drum maker’s version of the riderless horse."
