Mea
Makamae, Hawaiian Treasures, is a treasure
trove of wonderful music from Hawai‘i’s premier artists including Israel
Kamakawiwo‘ole, Dennis Pavao, Mäkaha Sons, Teresa Bright,
with ‘Ale‘a,
Justin and Kahua representing the new wave
of talented musicians. Other gifted and respected
singers missing from the airwaves are happily
included, Rocky Brown, Cyril Pahinui, Frank
Kawaikapuokalani Hewett, Del Beazley and
the Hawaiian All Star Band.
Mea
Makamae is
also a celebration of traditional Hawaiian music. Classics
from the pens of our great composers Lena Machado, Charles
E. King, King David Kaläkaua,
and Queen Lili‘uokalani share the stage with Na Hoku
Hanohano Award–winning contemporary composers Frank Kawaikapuokalani
Hewett, Justin Young and Puakea Nogelmeier. All performances
are delivered with great care in honoring the past and creating
music for the future generations. It’s a great
Hawaiian compilation featuring some of the best recording artists
in Hawai‘i and it belongs in everyone’s CD collection.
