LILIKOI FAIR

With her debut CD and a Na Hoku Hanohano Award under her belt, Paula Fuga is giving back to the community in a big way. The singer has organized the Lilikoi Fair, which will tour O'ahu, the Big Island and Maui next month. Taking part in the moveable music-and-arts feast are Brooklyn-based spoken-word duo Climbing Poetree, New York singer Sparlha Swa, O'ahu's The Girlas and Tempo Valley, and more. The tour is a fundraiser for Fuga's Lilikoi Foundation, which focuses on the empowerment of women. Schedule: 9 p.m. Sept. 6, The O Lounge, Honolulu, $10 in advance, $15 at the door; 6 p.m. Sept. 8, Kona Beach Hotel, Kona, $21 in advance, $26 at the door; 4 p.m. Sept. 9, Mulligan's On The Blue, Wailea, $20 in advance, $25 at the door.

ROCK THE BELLS

This tour of hip-hop heroes is an all-star affair — alert: Redman was just added to the lineup — but most anticipated are renegade word gurus Wu-Tang Clan. RZA, Ghostface, GZA — the Staten Island sect will rat-a-tat their Shaolin philosophy. They'll "Cock back my tongue like a hammer, my head is like a nickel-plated bammer, spit forty-five caliber grammar." 7 p.m. Sept. 1, Blaisdell Arena; $35, $45, $50; 877-750-4400; www.ticketmaster.com.
