Comments:

Amy Hanaiali'i Gilliom, who describes herself as "a little girl from Maui," won another HOKU HANOHANO AWARD for this album as well as "Traditional Album of the Year."

This album is called contemporary - but the songs in Hawaiian sound pretty traditional to me... however newly composed they may be... the style and rhythms are unmistakably from the artistic traditions and roots of Amy and Willie K. "Amy" is a leading female vocalist with an expanding following. (I think she sings like an angel).

William 'Awihilima Kahaiali'i is producer of this album, known in the Hawaiian Music world as "Willie K". He also composed much of the music in this album, and plays 6 string and 12 string guitar, acoustic bass, and does duet vocal on the final track: O Ko`olau Ku i ka Lani.

Instrumental accompaniment: Robert Cazimero plays piano, John Koko plays bass, Bobby Ingano on Steel Guitar. English translation of each song is in the CD jacket liner, translated by Lilikala Kame'eleihiwa, PhD Associate Professor of Hawaiian Studies at University of Hawaii Manoa. Liner notes by Jack de Mello.
