Maunalua Maunalua has their latest release called CD "HO'OKANAKA" in stores now. shortly. This will be the third recording for this Na Hoku Hanohano Award winning group. Following the success of “MAUNALUA”, which won the Best Hawaiian Album at the 2001 Na Hoku Hanohano awards for the trio and their producer, Dave Tucciarone, was a daunting challenge, but “KULEANA” met that challenge well, winning Na Hoku Hanohano awards for Group and Favorite Entertainer of the Year. 11 plus years of playing together at venues that range from backyard luaus to neighbor island events, to concerts in Japan, Tahiti, Las Vegas and beyond, have honed the musical skills of the three local men, and have earned them a strong and loyal following. The release of “KULEANA” on a new record label in partnership with their former label, Koa Records, furthers their efforts to uphold and preserve the Hawaiian music culture. Indeed, the very name “KULEANA”, speaks to their sense of responsibility for preserving the traditional music of the islands, while giving it a fresh contemporary style. “KULEANA” evokes memories of old Hawaii through traditional favorites such as Nani Kauai, Aloha Ka Manini, Kealohalani and Sanoe, and a beautiful rendition of E Liliu E will delight slack key fans. The groups own writing talents are well represented with Pa Konane, a song that will make listeners hope for even more original music in their next outing. The group consists of Bobby Moderow, Jr., who was schooled by the legendary Raymond Kane, playing rhythm and slack key guitar, as well as providing vocals; Kahi Kaonohi, a journeyman musician with many local groups and Halau before settling in with Maunalua, playing bass guitar and singing; and Bruce Spencer, whose strong foundation in local music harmonies rounds out the group with his six-string ukulele and vocals. Maunalua invites you to share their music and the spirit of Aloha.
