Honolulu, HI - By popular demand, the members of the group 3D (Del Beazley, David "Kawika" Kahiapo, and, Dwight Kanae) have re-released their iconic album In Living Color, first released in 1998.
Between them, the individual group members have been awarded countless Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards (Hawaiʻiʻs Grammy); Kanae as a member of the Peter Moon Band; Kahiapo as a solo act and as a member of Kulāiwi and Kaukahi; and Beazley as a solo act. Kumu Hula and multiple Nā Hōkū Award winner Manu Boyd said, "3D... Collectively...proven solo artists who, together, create a kind of musical magic that seasoned artists can muster."
Fans of the original release can once again experience the harmonic synergy of these award-winning talents as they bring about the essence of Hawaiian music: connection, story-telling, and harmony. This re-release is slightly different from the original, but retains the majority of the songs, both originals and covers, including:
