Album Notes
MOHALA HOU: MUSIC OF THE HAWAIIAN RENAISSANCE is rooted in a person’s many relationships with other people. “This is my attempt to honor and share my aloha for the great musicians I grew up with,” says Keola. "All of the songs on this album are by special people who helped shape the local music scene in the 1970s," says Keola, "Olomana, C & K, Country Comfort, Kalapana. We also can’t forget the kupuna (elders) who set us on the path in the 1960s, like the Sons of Hawai`i, Gabby Pahinui, the Kahauanu Lake Trio and above all my mom, Nona Beamer. They’re all great people with big hearts."
