Lomi Salmon refers to a traditional island dish typically served chilled.
"Kanikapila is a Hawaiian term meaning an impromptu jam session often involving stringed instruments (kani: sound and pila: string instrument).
Windward refers to the side of the island facing the prevailing trade winds (typically from the northeast in Hawaii) which get more rain and are more lush.
Leeward is the sheltered side of the island (south and west in Hawaii) which is generally drier, sunnier, and warmer.
