While in Hilo recently, I purchased a CD by Bruddah Ku'ulei and I'm seeking some information about him, and little seem available on the internet. I read that he is from the "famous Ahuna family of Hilo" and Lynn Piccoli has told me that he was in group Da Blahlas. Can anyone provide more specifics? Mahalo.

Ku`ulei was brother to JJ Ahuna -- Darlene's former husband. He released two solo albums, both of which are now out of print:
