New Album by Kamaka Kukona - "Hanu ʻAʻala"

The debut album by Kamaka Kukona is one of my favorites of the year!  Here's a bit of info, a few song clips, and the link to purchase on my e-store site: 

Kamaka Kukona ~ Hanu ‘A’ala

Singer, composer, musician, and award-winning kumu hula Kamaka Kukona takes you on a beautiful journey with a combination of new and old mele (songs): six original compositions, two mele hula kahiko (ancient), two mele oli (chants) and a whole lot of love. Although this is his debut album, you may have heard some of his compositions on other albums, including “Hā ‘ena I Ka ‘Ehukai” (performed by ‘ALE ‘A) and “Lei Liko Ka Lehua” (performed by Darlene Ahuna).

Guest artists include Kamakoa Lindsey-Asing and Dave Tucciarone (who both also co-produced), Casey Olsen, Kapono Naʻiliʻili, and Denny Hemingson.
