SATURDAY'S FEATURE: FREDALBA

Musically, Fredalba makes intriguing sense of a broad range of elements. While Balfour's rapping often drifts between Prince-like falsetto and Mike Shinoda rapping, the rest of the band moves deftly from post-"Bitches Brew" Miles Davis to Jamaican dancehall to contemporary hip-hop.

**************************

The band brings its unique SoCal sound to the Wave Waikiki at 11 tonight. The band also is shooting a video here to promote its debut CD, "Uptown Music for Downtown Kids."

It's a big weekend for Balfour, who also will be on hand for tomorrow's advance screening of the "Hawaii" pilot at Sunset on the Beach — three days before the show's broadcast premiere.
