​Honolulu, HI - On August 29, 2023, multiple Nā Hōkū Hanohano Award winner Kalaʻe Camarillo will release Sands of Old Lahaina, a new single dedicated to Maui. Written the day after the devastating fires in Lahaina and Kula, Camarillo said, "The words came fast and I feel like God put the words on my heart so that I could help shine light/encourage the people of Maui to keep sticking together so that Lahaina will rise again."
 
Originally from Maui but now living on Oʻahu, Camarillo is a third-generation music teacher and professional musician, born into a family overflowing with rich musical talent. His father Rama, an ʻukulele teacher, taught him to play ʻukulele at age seven, and he later learned to play guitar, bass, and piano. His grandfather, George Camarillo, started the first ʻukulele band in Hawai'i public schools. His great uncle was the late ʻukulele virtuoso Jesse Kalima. His aunty Lehua Kalima is a founding member of the multiple Nā Hōkū Award-winning group Nā Leo Pilimehana and is a member of the group Kulāiwi. Cousin Lito Arkangel is a multiple Nā Hōkū nominee. Cousin Jesse Gregorio, Jr. plays bass for multiple Nā Hōkū Award winner Ledward Kaapana. Brother Kamaka is also a Nā Hōkū Award winner. And the list goes on...
 
Sands of Old Lahaina was recorded at Zeo Music studios with Imua Garza both engineering and producing as well as playing bass, percussion, organ, and background vocals. Camarillo sang vocals and played  'ukulele, acoustic guitar, and both lead and background vocals.
The single will be available on all digital outlets on August 29.
