hen Robert and Roland Cazimero perform on Kauaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usually for a worthy cause. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We try to give back as much as possible,â&#x20AC;? Robert said.

Tonight is no different, as The Brothers Cazimero take to the stage to raise funds for Kauaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i Hospice. Accompanying them will be singer/songwriter Amy Hanaialiâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i.

There will be no shortage of talent during the Kauaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i Hospice 30th Anniversary Concert, which begins at 7 p.m. at Kauaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i Community College Performing Arts Center in Puhi.

Laurie Miller, executive director of Kauaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i Hospice, said this is the first time the brothers have performed as a duo on Kauaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i since 2002. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in celebration of 30 years of caring for one another,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are extraordinarily delighted that The Brothers Cazimero and Amy Hanaialiâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i are going to provide this amazing concert.â&#x20AC;?

talent, longevity and success over the last four decades has placed them in a league of their own. The two have combined for nearly 40 recordings and three DVDs, have earned more than 20 Na Hoku Hanohano awards and were nominated for a Grammy Award in 2005 for Best Hawaiian Music Album. In 2006, the men took things one step further with an induction into the Hawaiian Music Hall of Fame.

For years, Robert said he and his brother played what they considered contemporary Hawaiian music. Now, their music is often referred to as traditional Hawaiian, which Robert said came as a surprise to both them and their fans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) our own version of contemporized Hawaiian music,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Remembering and being a part of what was, in the crossroads of today, and hoping that it will carry through until tomorrow.â&#x20AC;?

Today, Robert said he and his brother are in a sort of semi-retired, transitional

period. Instead of putting together a new album, Robert joked that he has been â&#x20AC;&#x153;working selfishlyâ&#x20AC;? on his own side projects, including his traveling hula halau.

For that reason, he said he is looking forward to tonightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kauaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i gig. Any excuse to come to Kauaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i is good enough for the Cazimeros.

Giving back to an organization like Kauaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i Hospice is just an added bonus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whenever we do have the opportunity, we try to go,â&#x20AC;?

Robert said.

Joining the Cazimeros on stage tonight is Maui native Hanaialiâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i, a four-time Grammy nominee and 18-time Na Hoku Hanohano award recipient. Miller said the benefit concert will allow Kauaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i Hospice to continue its mission of providing the highest level of care for individuals facing terminal or life-threatening illnesses. General admission tickets start at $80 per person.

rder up!â&#x20AC;?

Another dish of freshly prepared sushi is placed upon the waiting table â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a succulent blend of ahi marinated in a sweet ginger soy sauce and topped with blackened tuna and a splash of Chef Victor Heresa Jr.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special sauce. I just arrived and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m seated next to the table.

Dish after dish of mouth-watering sushi is prepared swiftly and carefully. Sushi mak-

ing, an art form dating back thousands of years, is alive and well on Kauaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;i.

Heresa, owner of Sushi Bushido, prepares his sushi using the finest Matsumoto knives.

He prepares sushi lightning fast â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it takes him no more than five to seven minutes to prepare them.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m greeted by Manager Grant Holcomb.

Holcomb said that Sushi Bushido has been in business for 10 years.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started out in Anchor Cove â&#x20AC;&#x201D; been there for six years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and have been at this location (Kapaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a) for four years,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Previously, Heresa was partners in a restaurant in old Kapaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a town called Wasabiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing sushi for 26 years,â&#x20AC;?

Heresa said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started in San Diego for a long time, came back home and went on my own. I used to be a cook and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the praise that I wanted in the kitchen, so I

learned how to make sushi. When I found out I can converse with my customers and watch them eat my food, I loved it.â&#x20AC;?

Heresa and his line of sushi makers do get the attention they deserve. Cameras are set up by the sushi-making station and their sushi-making is broadcast on televisions throughout Sushi Bushido.

Heresa and Chef Chris Sadaoka prepared three specialty rolls that are made via

Chef Victor Heresa and Chef Chris Sadaoka prepare sushi masterfully in front of cameras and patrons at Sushi Bushido. special requests only. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When people want to request a specialty roll off the menu â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not guaranteed we can do it. When we have time, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be more than happy to make it,â&#x20AC;? Heresa said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each chef has their own specialty roll and this is mine.â&#x20AC;?

Chef Heresa dished out the Bradda Bradda, $16. It consists of tempura super white tuna, crab, avocado, topped off with maguro (yellowfin tuna) and a sweet garlic butter sauce.

As soon as Heresa presented the Bradda Bradda, Sadaoka brought his specialty, the Pua Roll, $16.95. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here for seven years,â&#x20AC;? Sadaoka said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ingredients for this are marinated tempura salmon, avocado, crab and topped of with walu (butterfish), melted wasabi garlic butter, a spicy-sweet garlic soy sauce and bonito flakes with green onions.â&#x20AC;?

These sushi chefs work fast. When Sada-

oka was pau with his presentation, Heresa brought out another of his specialty rolls: The Lollipop, $15.95.

It consists of yellowtail, yellowfin tuna and fresh salmon that are wrapped in a thin layer of cucumber. It is drizzled in a sweet sauce and sprinkled with sesame seeds.

Sauces accompanying this dish include spicy aioli, unagi and sweet chili.

Words canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t explain how ono each of these dishes are to eat.

You really have to experience these dishes for yourself. Each of these dishes has a life of its own â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they are all tender, juicy and they melt in your mouth. The combination of sauces are unbelievable.

To experience true sushi making at its finest, while enjoying a lively atmosphere of great artwork and live music, then you must make your way to Sushi Bushido in Kapaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a and enjoy some of the finest sushi on the island.

ccompanying the wide selection of sushi at Sushi Bushido is a plethora of sake, beers and cocktails. Restaurant Manager Grant Holcomb prepared two sake martinis that are refreshing, tasty and worth every cent: The Lychee Sake Pomegranate Martini and the Green Apple Sake Martini. These two cocktails are new and will be a part of the cocktail menu in the near future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These drinks are not on the menu yet, but we plan to revamp the cocktail menu and find out what kind of drinks people want,â&#x20AC;? Holcomb said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new thing is making mixed drinks out of sake, so we use our flavored sake for these new drinks.â&#x20AC;?

The Lychee Sake and Pomegranate Martini The Lychee Sake Pomegranate Martini is priced at $8 and is made out of lychee sake, pomegranate liqueur and Grey Goose Vodka. This seasonal cocktail comes with a seedless lychee fruit. The lychee sake, pomegranate liqueur and Grey Goose combination creates a sweet blend that goes well with any sushi dish on the menu.

Green Apple Sake Martini The Green Apple Sake Martini is also priced at $8. This simple concoction is

made with two ingredients: Green Apple sake and Blueberry Stoli Vodka. The combination of this cocktail creates a flavor comparable to Jolly Rancher candy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sweet and yummy.

From 2 to 5 p.m., Mondays through Fridays, is happy hour at Sushi Bushido.

Holcomb said patrons can enjoy the Golden Roll â&#x20AC;&#x201D; salmon, tuna, crab and avocado rolled in seasoned panko and served tempura style on an avocado unago aioli â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for 50 percent off. Typically the Golden Roll sells for $10.95 for the 14 karat and $17.95 for the 24 karat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do the Golden Roll for 50 percent off, we do Kirin Ichiban at a discounted price, hot sake at a discounted price, local beers at a discounted price and some hand-rolled sushi for $3.75.â&#x20AC;?

ASSOCIATED PRESS CHRISTY LEMIRE

All sparkle, but no soul in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Great Gatsbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

I

f any piece of classic American literature should be depicted on film with wildly decadent and boldly inventive style, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Great Gatsby.â&#x20AC;? After all, who was the character of Jay Gatsby himself if not a spinner of grandiose tales and a peddler of lavish dreams?

And Baz Luhrmann would seem like the ideal director to bring F. Scott Fitzgeraldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story to the screen yet again, to breathe new life into these revered words, having shaken up cultural institutions previously with films like â&#x20AC;&#x153;William Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Romeo + Julietâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moulin Rouge!â&#x20AC;? This is the man who dared to stage the iconic balcony scene in a swimming pool, so mixing in a little Jay-Z amid the Jazz Age standards strangely makes sense.

But in Luhrmannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous films, there still existed a fundamental understanding of the point of the stories he was telling; beneath their gorgeous trappings, they still reflected the heart and the purpose of the works from which they were drawn. His â&#x20AC;&#x153;Great Gatsbyâ&#x20AC;? is all about the glitter but it has no soul â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the fact that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s directed it in 3-D only magnifies the feeling of artificiality.

Luhrmannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adaptation, which he cowrote with Craig Pearce, lacks the sense of melancholy and longing that emanated from the novelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pages, even though the script invokes Fitzgeraldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prose early and often through voiceover from Tobey Maguire as our narrator, guide and Fitzgerald stand-in Nick Carraway. Sometimes, as in the bookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

famous, final sentence, the words pop right up on screen and linger in the air.

Gatsby himself, played with well-coifed panache by Leonardo DiCaprio, too often comes off as a needy, clingy stalker rather than a tragic figure and a victim of the American dream. But in general, though, Luhrmannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gatsbyâ&#x20AC;? doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the fact that the book was intended as a critical look at a crumbling dream. It gets too caught up in the buzz of the party.

The plot, real quickly, in case itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a while since 10th-grade English class: The year is 1922, and young Nick Carraway has moved into a cottage on the nouveau riche Long Island enclave of West Egg with dreams of making it big on the New York Stock Exchange. Across the bay is the old-moneyed community of East Egg, where Nickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cousin, the dazzling socialite Daisy, lives with her cheating, blue-blooded husband, Tom (Joel Edgerton).

But everyone, regardless of where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re from, gathers each weekend for wild parties at Gatsbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s palatial abode â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which happens to be next door to Nickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s humble house. The normally mysterious Gatsby befriends Nick with hopes of reconnecting with Daisy, the one who got away five years earlier. Carey Mulliganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Daisy is more of an idea than a fully fleshed-out person, but then again, maybe thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always been the point: that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alluring but tantalizingly out of reach.

DiCaprio, meanwhile â&#x20AC;&#x201D; despite the usual depth and edge he can bring to a role â&#x20AC;&#x201D; comes off here as a parody of a Fitzgerald character, tossing around Gatsbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jovial greeting of â&#x20AC;&#x153;old sportâ&#x20AC;? so often in his affected accent, it could make for a dangerous drinking game. Now that would truly be intoxicating.

ilipino comedian Augie Tulba says technology is destroying human interaction and keeping people in isolated Internet bubbles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sit down and have conversations anymore,â&#x20AC;? he laughed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now they can go on YouTube and express themselves.â&#x20AC;?

Augie T, as heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s known by fans, wants you to put down the computer, get out of the house and join him for a night of clean, face-to-face comedy in celebration of all those beautiful mothers out there. He promises youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll feel better if you do.

Augie Tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day Show begins at 8 tonight at the Aston Aloha Beach Hotel, in Wailua. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Truthful, very clean and 100 percent local comedy,â&#x20AC;? he said of his work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can bring your friends. You can bring your family.â&#x20AC;?

When Tulba first started stand-up in the early â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90s, he wanted to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Eddie Murphy of Hawaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;iâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; profani-

ties included. That is until his father came to one of his shows and heard the filthy language coming from his sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mouth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He snapped,â&#x20AC;? Tulba remembered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ever since then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a side of me thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s afraid my dad will walk on stage.â&#x20AC;?

Today, Tulba takes pride in keeping it appropriate. However, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not afraid to take it to the edge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harder,â&#x20AC;? he said of his chosen style, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because, you know, I think a lot of us are demented in our heads. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to do the swearing.â&#x20AC;?

In addition to his father, Tulba said living on an island keeps him on the straight and narrow with his act. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I cannot just run and hide,â&#x20AC;? he joked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody sees me at the mall.â&#x20AC;?

With the simple goal of making people laugh, Augie views himself as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;treatâ&#x20AC;? for people, taking them from dayto-day struggles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I can get you away for an hour-anda-half, to laugh two or three times per

T

hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new force on Kauaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music scene that wasted no time turning heads.

They call themselves the Kauaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i Rhythm Kings, and have no problem living up to their name.

The seven-man group performed for the first time Saturday at Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the Green in Poâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ipu during the Cinco de Mayo Dance Party.

After what frontman Kevin â&#x20AC;&#x153;Swampdaddyâ&#x20AC;? Rogers described as a bit of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;shakyâ&#x20AC;? first set, the band settled in nicely, working through a mix of New Orleans funk, Memphis soul, Chicago blues and East and West coast swing. Notable numbers included The Metersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hey Pocky Way,â&#x20AC;? Little Featâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spanish Moonâ&#x20AC;? and Mack Riceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mustang Sally,â&#x20AC;? always a crowd pleaser.

The audience welcomed a surprise performance by Los Angeles blues guitarist Solomon King, who performed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jack Me Up,â&#x20AC;? a song featured on TV drama series â&#x20AC;&#x153;True Blood.â&#x20AC;?

Overall, Rogers said the band was happy with its debut performance and had a lot of fun. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody liked what we did last night,â&#x20AC;? he said Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wait until they hear us a few months from now.â&#x20AC;?

It comes down to this: If you like to dance to rhythm and blues, you will want to clear your schedule for this fresh, horn-heavy, groovinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Kauaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i group.

The Kauaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i Rhythm Kingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; next scheduled performance is June 2 during Taste of Hawaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i in Wailua, but Rogers said to keep an eye out for additional gigs.

Edd Cook on vocals and bass.

The crowd Saturday at Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the Green could not resist taking to the dance floor.

Lesette Van Winden, Karen Harlow and Elizabeth Borchelt enjoy the premiere performance of the Kauaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i Rhythm Kings.
