Synopsis

Album Description
"Maluhia" (Peaceful) features traditional classics and original compositions in both English and Hawaiian. Reichel's warm vocal style matches perfectly with the new material, whether it's an acapella version of the Hawaiian hymn "Nu 'Oli" or the more contemporary "Christmas Lullaby". The top-notch production contains string arrangements by Matt Catingub, and newly composed tunes by Ben Vegas, Puakea Nogelmeier, and Keola Donaghy. Guests include Ho'okena, Maila Gibson, and Grammy winner Jeff Peterson.

CD Reviews

Wonderful reminder of beautiful Hawaii
Lisa Hamaker - Kaliday | Bolton, MA United States | 01/12/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I got a sample of his music in a Hawaii travel book, and listened to it about a month after returning from Kauai. I was immediately transported back to all that I love about Hawaii. In addition, his music brings together many things I like about music - melodious, caring, inspiring, relaxing. I just feel wonderful when I am listening to it.



This album is a great combination of that wonderful Hawaiian feeling plus some of the traditional Christmas music.



Enjoy!"

"I have several CD's by Keali'i which I thoroughly enjoy. I find that this one has some traditional Christmas music but other that are not. I feel I can play this all year and not just for the holiday season.I am happy that I discovered it."
Excellent Christmas album

"Keali'i Reichel shines with his Christmas cd, Maluhia. I have given this to all of my friends as gifts, and everybody, even those who have no exposure to Hawaiian music, LOVE it! It opens with the hauntingly lovely Nu Oli, and continues with some old favorites such as Silent Night, sung in both English and Hawaiian. Breathtaking! The title song, Maluhia, is classic Reichel. His voice is soothing and this album rejoyces in the season. Get it. You won't be sorry."
