CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com essential recording Hapa, pidgin for "half," often refers to bi- or multiracial individuals in Hawai'i. It's an apt name for singer Keli'i Ho'omalu Kaneali'i and singer/songwriter Barry Flanagan's group and their 1995 self-titled debut album. An exhibition of and introduction to the "Maui sound," Hapa proves that traditional Hawai'ian music and modern rock can indeed be blended into something both hip and enduring--something they continue in their follow-up album In the Name of Love. The noninstrumental tracks are in Hawai'ian--some traditional, some translated by Flanagan--with English and Hawai'ian texts in the liner notes. This is truly an essential album for any Hawai'ian-music enthusiast. --Erik Macki Similar CDs

CD ReviewsHapa's music takes you to Paradise Happy Traveler | USA | 02/23/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "I was in Kauai, when I heard this album at a booth selling CD's.
I immediately bought it and played it in our rental car, the entire trip. When I got home, I called my sister, who had just gone to the Big Island. I learned a little bit of Le Pikake and started to sing it to her. It turns out, while she was on the Big Island, she heard Hapa too, and we both came home with the same album, and learned the words to the same song! This album will transport you to Paradise! I never get tired of listening to the Hawaiian guitars and beautiful harmonies. I have listened to this album so many times that I can sing every song in Hawaiian, and it's a very hard language to learn. Even if you can't speak Hawaiian, you will love this group! When I am feeling down, I put on this album, and it takes me back to the wonderful memories of Kauai." |
