It has been nearly a decade, since singers/song writers/musicians, Bruce “Poncho” Ho‘opai, Shane “HHB” Kahalehau, and Vernon “Kuma” Kapua‘ala, have performed together on stage. Once forming the crucial core of the hard hitting reggae band (“Sly Dog”), they are now joined by former “Pound 4 Pound” singer, Allin Dudoit, and heavy basist, Makapu Ho‘opi‘i, of the Na Hōkū Hanohano award winning band, “Ekolu”. Although it was their passion for reggae music that introduced the men in the late 90’s, that passion has now been surpassed and is divinely driven—by their deep rooted love for God and their fellow man. Thus the rebirth of these young artists, and the Genesis of Hawaii’s Hottest New Band—Testafiyah.
Unprecedented in the entire state, Testafiyah blends a European influenced reggae and replaces the genres’ typical lyrical content—Rastafarianism, political/economic oppression and love—with inspirational words of hope, comfort and light. In a day and age, where global politics weighs tremendously on the very core of every society—the family unit—Testafiyah keeps it “local” and delivers it home, as they draw upon their personal and musical experiences to touch lives—especially those who they may have influenced in the past—with a brand new message that is wholesome and breathes life, worthy of passing down to the next generation and beyond.

EVERLASTING FLOWERS Luke 8, versus 11 - 15 In the garden of your life, you choose the path you take, Jesus Christ, your Saviour's hand holds the weeding rake. Just let Him lead you daily along His lighted path, Steadily along life's ways, He'll guide you with His staff. If you choose the HARD path, you're not in the garden at all, Please open your ears and heart to the Saviour's call. Don't take the STONY ground, Jesus never promised us a life of ease. He knows its never easy not to do just as you please. Your bound to hit some THORNY patches as your garden starts to grow, Just confess your failures to Him, His love He wants you to know. Then from the GOOD soil, you will be, all fertilized with Himself, You will be a prize bloom shining, not some seeds left on the shelf. For when you bloom and grow, with God's rising sap of love, The seeds of life will scatter with a never-ending source of love.
良い音楽

Thank you for your unconditional friendship. I trust all is well with you.
I've been off myspace since end of May, soon after my elder sister (Christabel) passed. I have her profile here so just decided to be off until after healing from it. Being on facebook became the alternative.
Hope to catch up in exchanging Kingdom matters with you.
"And we know that in ALL things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose," Romans 8:28.
With thanks, best wishes & prayers, From your pal & br. in Christ, Eric Gondwe
