Dear Readers,
Artists are still making and recording music, but largely without the benefit of record labels, distribution, and retail sales outlets. So I shall be tracking new CD releases as I learn about them–mainly through social media.
Faith Ako, Kuʻu ʻĀina Aloha
Faithʻs fourth release offers an eclectic array of old classics, new originals and music to hula by. One of the sweetest voices (and people) in music today.
Release parties were cancelled due to the coronavirus situation. Do reach out to Faith and support her music!
Kalani Pescaia, Kuʻu Huakaʻi
Maui native Kaulike Pescaia presents his debut release with ten original compositions and a pure falsetto voice that earned him first place in the 2018 Richard Hoʻopiʻi Falsetto Contest. Great production, beautiful Hawaiian language and a heartfelt delivery make this a winner.
