A One Kine Hawaiian Man - Luther Kahekili Makekau

Album Notes

This award-winning, one-hour documentary by Eddie and Myrna Kamae pays tribute to the untamed spirit of a colorful and controversial Hawaiian man. Known throughout the islands and descended from a line of warrior chiefs, Luther Makekau was part philosopher and part outlaw, a chanter and a singer, a fighter and a lover, a cattle rustler, a rebel, and a poet.

Born on Maui in 1890 during the reign of Kalakaua, he lived nearly a hundred years, shaped by a century of cultural change.
