The concert is part of Hawaii Volcanoes’ Na Leo Manu, “heavenly voices” performances. Admission is free, but park entrance fees apply.

A native of the former plantation town of Olaa (now known as Keaau), Arkangel learned music by turning pages for his grandmother as she played piano for the local church. After decades of backyard jam sessions, Arkangel now is an accomplished full-time entertainer and musician, and just released his debut album, “Lito Arkangel … Me ke Aloha,” produced by Grammy Award-winner Charles Michael Brotman. Arkangel was a finalist for Most Promising Artist at the 2015 Na Hoku Hanohano Awards.

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park continues its tradition of sharing Hawaiian culture and After Dark in the Park programs with the community and visitors in June.
