"I heard this CD playing in a store while visiting in Kailua,Oahu,Hawaii recently. I had to have it, however they didn't have "Collection" in stock so I bought "In the Name of Love" by HAPA. These guys have the most wonderful blend of harmony I have heard in a long time! I fell in love with their music. I especially love "Pu'uanahulu". I never really listened to Hawaiian music before hearing this CD."
Great Musicians

"I have to say, if you've ever been to Hawaii, and really want to go back (but don't have the cash) listening to Hapa is the next best thing. These guys are amazing. I would also recommend Hapa's self-titled first CD "Hapa.""

"Fantastic Guitar solos and hawaiian vocals. Relaxing easy listening music memories of Hawaii. Highly recommend Hapa's CD's. If you like Hapa also try Olomama"

"My wife introduced me to Keli'i and Barry when we lived on Oahu and she worked at Sea Life Park. They played there and had just won the HAKU award for best duo. They just mesmorized the people with their unusual style of play. We have all their CD's see them whenever they come to San Diego. If you love great voices and wonderful guitar, any HAPA CD is great."
Not Their Best

"Hapa has put out some amazing work ... and some less than amazing work. In order to make this a true "Collection" they needed to pull from every disc, including those that were less than amazing. You won't be disappointed in Hapa, but if you want the best, get the self-titled disc."
