Booga Booga was one of the hottest comedy groups in Hawaii during the 1970's and 1980's, performing their special brand of "Kanaka Komedy". The original members of the Booga Booga comedy group were Rap Reiplinger, Ed Kaahea, and James Grant Benton. Rap left the group in 1977 to develop his comedy career on the mainland. When Rap left Andy Bumatai replaced him for about a year. Ed Kaahea is the last living member of the original Booga Booga. Rap Reiplinger died in 1984, and James Benton died of a heart attack in the 2002.
