Kolohe Kai is a local Hawaiian reggae band, represented by singer/songwriter/frontman Roman de Peralta. This band is known for putting out all-original music releases. In 2009, Kolohe Kai broke out on the music scene with its debut release This is the Life, garnering a massive following with lead songs “‘Ehu Girl” and “Cool Down”. “First True Love” from their 2011 sophomore album, Love Town, was a radio favorite.
After a 3-year break to enjoy life’s experiences, Kolohe Kai came back strong with Paradise in 2014. The title track “Paradise” and “Heʻe Roa” were a reminder to Hawaiian reggae lovers that Kolohe Kai will always capture the hearts of its listening audience.

In 2019, Kolohe Kai released Summer 2 Winter, a fully realized original project, coupled with a visual album. Stunning videos were crafted and a cohesive timeline created to represent each song. While every video can stand on its own, viewing the album videos in this sequence gives the listener/viewer a grea
