Kāua i k holoholo pō mahina
I ka uwapo holuholu i ka muli wai

A loaʻa ʻoe iaʻu i ka pō nei
I ka muliwai aʻo hanahana pono

ʻO ka pā kōnane a ka mahina
ʻO ʻoe aʻo wau i kāhi mehameha

ʻElua wale iho nō kāua
ʻEkolu i ke aka o ka mahina

ʻOʻoe aʻo wau nalo ia mea
I ka pā pōhaku hana ke aloha

ʻĪ mai ʻoe iaʻu he aloha kou
He aloha wale nō i kou lehelehe

Lehelehe akamai kou i ka pelo
He aʻo naʻe i ka hoʻopunipuni

Kaʻapuni hoʻi au a puni ke kaona
Aʻohe he lua e like me ʻoe

Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana
Ka uwapo holuholu i ka muliwai

Thanks for representing Hawaiian music! It is alive and well here on the island...



Only one island?

Hunh.  Pretty cool that this artist is so well regarded for his efforts in maintaining the traditions of island music.  Not my bag necessarily, but can appreciate that there is a need for various cultures to try to survive and remain relevant in spite of the forces of globalization and the associated avalanche of bland corporate musical pablum.

Hey, not everyone is going to love it. First time hearing it. Giving it a 6 upon first listen.

It took being in Maui about an hour with this stuff in the background for it's sound to permeate and take you in, it's part of the island.

If you don't like this song- sip some Cuban 7 year rum, add lime and a bit of sugar, sit in the sun and listen to this song. Imagine sitting in a chair in South Maui.
Now you know why this song is a 9+.

Sweet and pleasant. And definitely fits the eclectic label.

I must get back to the islands...

12 years between plays?  This DOES fit well after "Let it Flow" by Jimmie Spheeris, both tracks I've rated a 7 for now.  Definite "mood & tude" must be just right.....
And then Greg Brown's "Dream Café"  BILLG ROCKS it!!!
