Fascinating collection of traditional hula music, sung by both children and adults and accompanied by traditional instruments such as drums, gourds, ukulele. Most of the songs are much too short. Read the notes and play it all, but the following are especially good:
1. Fun round song by children & adults.
3. Another fun kids song.
4. Female chorus, drums. Strong chanting to Pele.
5. Male voice. Down tempo chant w/solo drum.
6. Catchy drums/female chorus.
9. Mid tempo female voices/drums.
11. Slow female chants w/stones being knocked together.
12. Female chorus, downtempo w/percussion.
13. Beautiful solo female voice then chorus. Slow & sad.
15. Slow male chant w/percussion.
18. Ukulele & female chorus. Midtempo.
21. A slow & elegant lullaby.
23. Cool call/response w/dramatic vocals. Great sound.
