New, Hot Hawaiian CD's??
I love playing my Hawaiian CD's in the car! I find them especially relaxing when I'm stressed.
Do any of you know what the best new CD's are ? What are your favorites? I'd like to make a list of ones to pick up while I'm on the Big Island and Kauai in May.
The few I have are :
1) The Makasaha Sons & Friends na pua o hawai'i
2) Iz Israel's Kamakawiwo'ole
3) Keali'i Reichel's Kawaipunahele
4) Paradise Music collection 2003
Mahalo!

Hey OSB
Although not exactly the genre you requested I am loving the soundrack to this surfing dvd
"A broke down melody." Brushfire Records
I have purchased the cd in store and bought it for friends at http://store.jackjohnsonmusic.com/home.php

Hey Mels,
if you have anyone having babies, I bought a couple of signed copies of the children's book "Goodnight Hawaiian Moon" by Dr. Carolyn with a read along CD by Amy H G.
I am the proud owner of the illistrators Joanna F. Carolan's work!
It's a really cute booknmusic!

Thanks for all the suggestions and I will check out the link iceeu2! I had forgotten what the link was and lost it during a cp crash, so it's been a couple years since I looked at it.

I thought you used to be able to see her live on the air on the computer? Is that right?
And Jolie, the list you suggest is linked on auntie's site.
Thanks! Now, maybe I just need to get auntie to pick some out for me! Do they have a physical shop/store? That I might see on Kauai?

OSB, I found this article very interesting about Iz' recording of "Somewhere over the Rainbow"
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...DGNKBLRRV1.DTL
I didn't realize he was one of only 1500 full blooded Hawai'ians in the world.
I didn't realize he recorded the song in one take - and never played the song again.
I knew that was my favorite CD because the song was on it. I knew it touched me. I had no idea of the impact the song had -
Rainbow" came to personify Hawai'i to the outside world. Celebrities publicly announced their love of Israel's music: novelists, actors, directors, baseball players, sumo wrestlers. Bruddah IZ was the state's first artist in history to have an album certified gold. Posters and calendars of his face decorated record stores around the world. "Over the Rainbow" became the No. 1 bestselling song downloaded from the World Music section of iTunes. Israel had produced the most recognizable and beloved Hawai'ian song in 50 years. And he didn't live to see any of it.

Enormous. can. worms. opened
We love to talk about Hawaiian music.
You MUST have:
1. Amy & Willie LIVE
( Amy Hanaiali'i Gilliom & Willie K)
They both have multiple CD's. This is just the happiest, funnest thing going. Her song Palehua is just the most beautiful song.
2. Keola Beamer- Wooden Boat
Yeah, it's old. It's soft. It's wonderful. Listen to it as you look at the moon rise on the sea. Sigh.
3. Pu' Ohana - Pua Carnation. Classic, classic Hawaii. This is on my headphones every time I fly to the islands. Gets me in the mood.
4. Na Palapalai- Makani 'Olu'olu
Fun, family at home signing groove.
5. Hapa. Most anything

You can also stream KPOA ( www.kpoa.com) from Maui to get more up to date ideas. There is a terrific Big Island station that has older, more classic (less pop/rap stuff), but I can't remember the name right now.
