Track List & Samples(Tracks with sample are bold.)
Album NotesPerformed by Nina, Lani & Lahela, and backed by The Maile Serenaders, these songs in the Hawaiian language for children to sing and dance were practically non-existent before Aunty Alice Namakelua and Aunty Mary Kawena Pukui (pictured on the cover) got busy.Children would be taught adult songs, more or less suitable...or English-language songs, hardly Hawaiian. Pre-discovery, only adults were trained in serious matters of chant and hula. All that changed in 1965 when this album of 14 songs -- all child-tested and approved -- was released. The composers recall their own childhood days and invite you to join in sharing that time of wonder...whether you are a child yourself, or remember being one. Lyrics and translations included.
