Album Notes
Recipient of multiple
Na Hoku Hanohano Awards for excellence, Teresa Bright presents LEI ANA -- a wonderful collection of Hawaiian music. With a mix of traditional mele, hapa haole tunes, and some new original compositions, Teresa's beautiful voice caresses each song. Her knowledge and use of the Hawaiian language is exemplary.
"Lei Ana Ni`ihau" is a new composition by award-winning composer and kumu hula Frank Kawaikapuokalani Hewett. Lending a bit of whimsy is the final track -- an outtake from "The Cockeyed Mayor of Kaunakakai", featuring comedian and notable Hawai`i radio DJ, Frank B. Shaner.
