Israel Iz Kamakawiwo'ole
With the passing of Iz in 1997, Hawaii lost a major star and musical ambassador. There have been a few albums since his death, including a fine retrospective, also on Mountain Apple. On this album, Jon de Mello, whose father, Jack, was one of the key players (if not the key player) in Hawaiian exotica and string arrangements in the late '50s and ...

Both Sean Na'auao and Robi Kahakalau have won accolades for their respective solo albums over the last few years, and picked up a handful of Na Hoku Hanohano awards each (mostly for contemporary Hawaiian). This album combines their respective powers on guitar and vocals, but does so in a primarily traditional format. Each song is a duet, brimming ...

by
Raiatea
A solid sophomore album from Raiatea Helm, a young artist in the revival of classic Hawaiian music with a nice ukulele ability and a stunning falsetto. The fare is largely from the basic songbook of classic, early tourist-era Hawaiian music, with ukulele, steel, and guitars. All of the instrumentals are well performed, with Raiatea generally ...

by
Makana
The title of Makana's third album ("Ki Ho'alu" means "to loosen the keys [or slack the strings]" on an instrument in Hawaiian) and his appearance on the cover in native garb signal that the disc is his take on traditional Hawaiian slack key guitar music, and he follows through on that promise, playing his versions of some of the basic tunes in the ...

by
Raiatea
For her third album (the second with a wider distribution), Raiatea returns with a somewhat more traditional set than her previous, excellent affair (Sweet & Lovely). Primarily, this means a lot more falsetto singing, and somewhat more simplistic guitar strumming as accompaniment. That's not to say that she doesn't still sound great, of course. ...

by
Amy Hänaiali'i
In something of a return to more traditional pieces, Amy Hänaiali'i here presents a set primarily in Hawaiian, and in song forms often in an older form. While she's known more for being at the top of the contemporary Hawaiian scene, she has training that suits her well enough in the older forms as well. The works are largely old standards and ...

by
Barefoot Natives
After numerous years playing separately, Willie K and Eric Gilliom here combine for a set as the Barefoot Natives. The set is a mix of traditional pieces, contemporary pieces, and a couple of old covers. The mood is rather sedate, and though Willie K in particular has been noted for his dexterity and speed, the focus is on the ballad rather than ...

Na Palapalai
This album of Hawaiian falsetto singing is done in a trio format rather than the somewhat more common form: a solo falsetto singer with a backing band. Na Palapalai produce some very nice harmonies among themselves, hitting the high notes with seeming ease. This is hula music proper, with a few haku mele up front and a backing band keeping the ...

Ahumanu have been performing off and on for a few years, but this is their debut recording, a very nice contemporary Hawaiian album from the three songstresses of Maui. The music is largely based around some sweet harmonizing vocals from the trio, with touches of guitar and bass holding up the rhythmic end of affairs. The compositions are largely ...

Showcasing a new lineup (which now includes Rupert Tripp, Jr.), Deeper Blue involves much of the same basic styling as Kohala's previous work. There's a bit more emphasis placed on the stylistic mix of the three guitarists now however, with some interplay between lead guitarist Charles Michael Brotman and his nylon-stringed classical approach, and ...

Culled from recordings both recent and older, Eddie Kamae and Friends collects a number of collaborations between Eddie Kamae and other musicians with whom he's worked over the years. The sound is always properly laid-back, country-fied, even; Kamae's relaxed, bouncing guitar takes care of that aspect. Along with Kamae this time are performers ...

This nostalgic collection isn't particularly summery, but instead attempts to re-create an era when 45 rpm singles, vinyl albums, and hand-held transistor radios were the main musical mediums, a time when Hawaiian radio stations mixed mainland Top 40 hits with local island music in a frequently delightful blend of the near and the far. Not all of ...

What happens when a Hawaiian artist can't decide whether he should do traditional or contemporary music? He does both. Here, Ata Damasco tosses together some classic hulas, some traditional songs, some more contemporary works by others, and at least one of his own pieces. While it seems a rather heterogenous thing to do, the total is greater than ...
