Patrick Landeza
Patrick Landeza is a contemporary Hawaiian slack key guitarist. As he often jokes, he was "born on the island of Berkeley, California" on June 23, 1972.
==Early life==
Patrick Landeza's parents, Danny Landeza, Jr. of O'ahu, and Frances Kawaipulou Kuakini O'Sullivan of Moloka'i, met and married in California. Patrick and his four siblings, together with their parents, lived in a small, two-bedroom apartment in Berkeley. Patrick's father, who was a founder of the Kaimanu Outrigger Canoe Club in San Leandro, was outgoing and community-minded. He taught his children about the importance of contributing to community and helping those in need. As an adult, Patrick Landeza retains the value of service to community, as does his elder brother Jayson, who became a Catholic priest. Patrick's spirit of service was recognized in 2006 when he became the youngest recipient to date of the Kapalakiko Aloha Spirit Award, created by longtime Bay Area Hawaiian cultural leader Saichi Kawahara.
Patrick Landeza's ethnic background is Hawaiian, Filipino, Chinese, and Irish. His parents raised him with what is known in Hawai`i as "local culture." Part of the Hawaiian cultural element was the music of Hawai`i, which was greatly loved by both of Landeza's parents. At age 15 he was introduced to ''ki ho'alu'', or Hawaiian slack key guitar, by two uncles, Clarence and Francis Ahyee. They taught Patrick to play slack key at family gatherings in Castro Valley, California. As Landeza recounts, "My uncles would only play music when they were drunk, so I tried to force beers on them." Patrick learned what he could from his uncles, and continued his early musical education with Saichi Kawahara. He was frustrated, though, at Northern California's lack of opportunities to further his education in slack key guitar. Just when he was thinking of giving up, his mother told him that the renowned slack key guitarist Raymond Kāne would be appearing at a concert venue called the Freight and Salvage Coffeehouse, just two blocks away from the Landeza's apartment. This was a turning point in Landeza's musical career. Not only did he meet Kāne in person, but he began studying guitar as one of his protégés, frequently making trips between California and Hawai`i to do so. Patrick recalls that "Uncle Raymond used to call me 'Berkeley.' He'd call me on the phone - 'Hey, Berkeley, go get me some bananas, but no let Aunty find out!' He wasn't supposed to eat bananas because he was diabetic, but he really loved bananas!"
