CD Reviews

Gabby, Hawaiian legend
W. J. Chang | Yorba Linda, Ca | 05/01/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The previous reviewer captures the essence of what this is all about with one of his sentences: "This record sings to the sensitivity, joy, and sadness of a traditional way of life whose generous values stood counterpoint to the greedy reality of todays' multi-national corporate-state."



As someone who was raised on Oahu and now finds himself living on the mainland, I find myself being brought to tears by the music found on this album. This is beautiful music straight from the big heart of a true Hawaiian and if you understand this, you will also be touched deeply.



Mahalo nui loa, Gabby. Aloha oe."
