Hawaiian Chant: The Lyrical Poetry of Hawai`i

Album Notes

Though musically best known for its popular slack-key guitar style, the Hawaiian culture contains some much more hidden and ancient traditions. On this rare recording, modern practitioners of the age-old Hawaiian chant practice take us back to centuries ago, when chants were the basic musical expression of everyday life for the islanders.
