Was walking through the local Target Department store the other day and happened to pass a CD display. A Hawaiian CD caught my eye, and on impulse I bought it. The title is "Aloha! Hawiian Luau" and is part of the Lifescapes World Celebration series.
I really like it! The songs are really good as well as the vocals and playing. Features Charles Ki'aha (vocals, uke and guitar) and Llima Lei Russell (vocals) along with backup players. I would highly recommend it.
Song List:
No Ka Pueo Hilo One Hi'ilawe Aloha Ma'ema'e Hene Hene Kou 'Aka Wai O Ke Aniani Ka Makani Ka 'ili Aloha Polynesian Percussion Interlude Kilakila Na Roughriders E Ku'u Lei Akona Hema 'O Ka Lani Wailana Moloka'i Nui A Hina
Charles and Ilima are frequent musicians in the So. California area. If you every get the opportunity to see them in person they are wonderful musicians and very knowledgeable about what they sing.
