VINTAGE HAWAIIAN TREASURES VOLUME 9
1996 Na Hoku Hanahana Anthology of the Year Award Winner. Aloha Hula Hawaiian Style brings you eighteen of the twenty-eight original Aloha Records tracks. Although the label was tiny and short lived, these recordings capture the essence of the Hawaii’s wonderful radio show cast of the late 1940’s, with a fine catalog of Hawaiian musical performances. Al Kealoha Perry and Henry K Lindsey created the label in 1947. Al Kealoha Perry served as musical director of the Hawaii Calls radio show for 30 years – 1937 to 1967. All of the Aloha label artists were also Hawaii Calls musicians and entertainers, including Haleloke (about to be discovered by Arthur Godfrey), Gabby Pahinui, and Alfred Apaka (about to be discovered by Bing Crosby and Bob Hope). Extensive historical liner notes and computer audio restoration.
