CD Reviews

The origins of modern Hawaiian pop

Joe Sixpack -- Slipcue.com | ...in Middle America | 11/13/2002

(4 out of 5 stars)

"A classic and pivotal album which helped shift interest back towards older acoustic styles... This was also the first album on the venerable Panini label, featuring a 40-something Gabby Pahinui on guitar, along with several other top-flight musicians. Both Pahinui and ukulele whiz Eddie Kamae were longtime pros on the Hawaiian pop circuit, having played in nightclub and variety acts as far back as the 1930s. Here, they teamed up with some younger players to play a relaxed set of backwoods tunes, getting as far away from the "Blue Hawaii" chestnuts as possible, and deep into the folk tunes sung on shady porches across the islands. Kamae's delivery is a bit Burl Ives-y, but that's not really such a bad thing... This isn't as gorgeous or as melodic as Pahinui's later material, but there's a quaint air of familiarity and affection to these perfomances, particularly on cute, musicbox-y tunes such as "Christmas In Hawaii" and "Ka Lae O Ka'ena" (about the girl whose mom owned the candy store...) that makes this hard to resist."

The classic that still demands your listening attention

"There are great Hawaiian albums, and then there's THE FOLK MUSIC OF HAWAI'I by Sons Of Hawai'i. This came out at a time when you could count the amount of Hawaiian releases that came out in a year... with one hand. Panini Records were brand new and wanted to impress not only Hawai'i, but the rest of the world with not just an album, but a historical recording. This was the result. While there have been countless recordings of "Kanaka Waiwai", "Ka Lae O Ka'ena" and "Waikiki Hula" in the last 30 years, it is these versions from over 30 years that are still in demand. The singing is heartwarming, the attitude is wicked and sassy at the same time, and the musicianship shows it's not only about the music, but for the culture and their tight bond as friends. It was this version of "No Ke Ano Ahiahi" that prompted jazz trio Medeski, Martin & Wood to honor the late Gabby Pahinui with their own version. Pahinui didn't compose this song (about the coming of the night), but it was he and the Sons Of Hawai'i who made it a standard. Chicken skin."

The best Hawaiian album ever!

"This is an amazingly moving, wonderful album that captures the heart and mana'o of Hawaiians. It is as wonderful today as it was in the Seventies and I thank God that Panini and Primo Beer (one of the sponsors) put this wonderful work to vinyl. Read Sammy Amalu's review."
