CD Reviews

Hard-to-find, classic Hawaiian popular music
Joe Sixpack -- Slipcue.com | ...in Middle America | 11/13/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"One hallmark of classic Hawaiian music is the distinctive sound of "leo ki'eki'e," or falsetto singing. This disc collects a couple dozen first-rate examples of the style, gathered off of old singles on the HTP, Bell and 49th State record labels. A few tracks are of older vintage, dating back to the '30s -- most are postwar recordings, and include several lesser-known performers, along with legends such as Lena Machado and Gabby Pahinui. It's an odd and appealling style; perhaps off-putting to some, but great once you get into it. Highly recommended."
This is IT

"For those who want pre-statehood Hawaiian tunes, you must have this CD. This is not for those who want more modern or contemporary music with a Hawaiian accent. This is the real stuff."
Hauntingly beautiful, cleansing and refreshing!

"What a great album--this is Hawaiian music at its best. The songs and the performances are all superior. Here is that gift of the perfect balance of longing and joy that only the best Hawaiian music can offer."
