 "Shine," the long-awaited new album by Na Hoku Hanohano Award winner and Grammy nominee David Kamakahi, has just been released! A mix of genres similar to that of his award-winning debut release “Pa'ani,” and consisting entirely of cover songs, David is joined by an all-star, all award-winning group of musicians, including: Nathan Aweau, Jon Yamasato, Abe Lagrimas, Jr., Jeff Peterson, Bobby Ingano, and his father - Reverend Dennis Kamakahi.
David will be celebrating the release of “Shine” with a CD release party on Thursday, April 30 at the Pakele Lounge in the Ala Moana Hotel (410 Atkinson Dr., Honolulu), beginning at 6 p.m. Part of the Pakele Live! with Tony Solis series, it will also be broadcast live online at http://www.pakelelive.com/. (Those in Japan can watch at http://www.j-wave.co.jp/)
Joining David for the party will be special guests Eddie Kamae, Mike Kaawa, Jeff Peterson, Jon Yamasato, and Dennis Kamakahi.
The party is free and open to all (and there’s free parking next door at the Ala Moana shopping center!), so join the celebration and pick up a copy of the CD at the same time!
Here's more info about David, and the CD:
Awarded the Pono Beamer Award for excellence in the field of Hawaiian Music upon his graduation from Kamehameha Schools, David is a self-taught musician who began playing ‘ukulele at age 15. In addition to his solo projects, he has recorded with his father, with “Hui Aloha” (Dennis Kamakahi, Martin Pahinui and George Kuo), and “Na Oiwi” (Dennis, Mike Kaawa and Jon Yamasato), and has been a featured artist on albums by artists such as Keahiwai, Justin Young, Jon Yamasato, as well as part of the “Lilo and Stitch 2” soundtrack, and the 2007 Grammy-nominated “Slack Key Kings.”
