A masterpiece of island music that elevates Hawaiian music to a modern level.
Hapa's debut album, which blends traditional Hawaiian music with contemporary sounds, is widely regarded as a major success in the Hawaiian music world.
This debut album has established a reputation as a symbol of Hawaiian contemporary music, with exceptional guitar work and expansive, deep vocals providing a powerful driving force throughout the album. While retaining the feel of traditional Hawaiian tunes, the duo's unique style, blending folk and pop sensibilities, combines the natural beauty of Hawaiian music with a modern clarity. The light-hearted rhythm of "Ka Uluwehi O Ke Kai" and the warm melody of "Olinda Road" epitomize the duo's quiet passion, and as their Na Hoku Hanohano Award win attests, this album is a landmark in the Hawaiian music scene.
