#TRAKTIVISTthrowback . . For this week’s #TRAKTIVISTthrowback on episode 017, we spotlight singer & songwriter Nohelani Cypriano! She has an amazing mixed ancestry including Hawaiian, Filipino, Spanish, Portuguese, German, and English. She’s considered one of the Pioneers of contemporary Hawaiian music through her hit records that brought attention to Hawaiian funk & disco music of the 70’s & 80’s! She was truly ahead of her time. We feature the 1979 Hawaiian Disco cult classic “Lihue”. . . Listen to this throwback on the re-air of TRAKTIVIST RADIO on Dash Radio + Identity Asia this Sunday 11am pdt + Monday 3am pdt. TRAKTIVIST RADIO is also available on Spotify Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, & our YouTube Channel so you can listen anytime you want, as many times as you want! . . Every episode on #TRAKTIVISTradio, we highlight an Asian American artist/group that has significantly impacted our musical history. Whether they were front & center in the spotlight or hustled in the background, it is extremely important to respect & appreciate those who have opened up the doors & paved the road for participation & sustainable musical careers as an Asian American. . . . . . . #traktivist #throwback #asianamerican #asianamericans #musician #soul #soulmusic #rb #Alohagotsoul #aloha #hawaiian #filipino #filipina #disco #funk #nohelanicypriano https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp8FyTynB2b/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tfdwy2kgeuc
