About the CD
Second in the Hawai‘i Classic Series,
Volume II focuses on the beautiful hula music of
Hawai‘i.
Nä Hökü Hanohano Male Vocalist of the Year Nathan Aweau
went to the source and asked hula dancers what were the most
popular and requested songs they would be asked to dance, and
created the song list from their recommendations.
Some of the mele in this collection include:
Pua Hone, a beautiful love song by Dennis Kamakahi,
written while he was on tour in the mainland and used to propose
to his wife over the phone…
Aunty Edith Kanaka‘ole’s Ka Uluwehi O Ke Kai, a
favorite of dancers around the world…
Wahine Ilikea, one of the best loved hula songs of hula
dancers in Japan…
Pearly Shells and My Little Grass Shack, two
hapa haole tunes always requested by tourists in Waikiki…
These and the rest of the eleven songs on this CD will make you
want to get up and dance the hula. Whether you know the moves or
not! So just sit back and enjoy the smooth and soulful voice of
Nathan Aweau, and dream about your favorite Hawaiian vacation!
