Hawaiian From The Heart

Album Notes

In 1995 Keoki Kahumoku contacted Herb Ohta, Jr. to judge the Annual Youth ‘Ukulele Contest. Who better to spot young talent than Ohta, son of the legendary ‘ukulele virtuoso Herb "Ohta-San" Ohta? The two became instant friends, and with no real game plan in place, they began performing together at private and public functions. They attracted a loyal following and whenever they would play, people would ask if there was a recording in the works.

Five years later, Keoki and Herb have come together in studio to share this partnership with us all. Keoki on slack-key guitar and vocals, and Herb on ‘ukulele eloquently connect us to the heart and soul of Hawaiian music.
