The harmonizing voices of na leo pilimehana make this Christmas CD a fantastic gift for anyone on your Christmas list. Whether you have ever lived in Hawaii or not, you will be entranced by the voices of these girls. The rendition of O Holy Night is the most beautiful I've ever heard. There are a few "island" selections with the English and Hawaiian words, and even some Christmas Time Blues. All in all, Christmas Gift is a CD you'll want to find in your stocking!

My wife and I were island-hopping earlier this year, doing a little sightseeing (no, take that back, you can't do just a LITTLE sightseeing in Hawaii!) and we stopped at the Dole Pineapple Plantation on Oahu. While we were riding the Pineapple Express train through the beautiful fields of fruit, they were playing this gorgeous music featuring three lovely vocalists! We made a mental note of the name and determined to search for some of their stuff when we got back to the mainland. Well, folks, it's Christmastime (no kidding?) and what can be more appropriate during this season of endless snow and chill than some down home Hawaiian music? Specifically, Hawaiian Christmas music, where some of the lyrics are sung in Hawaiian by three angels! "Kana Kaloka/Here Comes Santa Claus" is the standout of this album, and just wait until you hear the three girls (well, ladies; they are, allegedly, over thirty!) cut loose on this track. Magic, sheer magic!! In fact, you will find yourself wishing for more English/Hawaiian songs rather than just the one. "Oh, Holy Night" is suitably angelic-sounding (as well it should be), while "Unto Us Tonight" is a stunningly simple testimony to faith and Eternal Love. Most of the record is similarly sweet; therefore, when the girls kick down the basement door with the worldly "Christmas Time Blues," it comes as something of a shock. Fabulous!!! So, buy yourself a Christmas Gift and thrill to the harmonies of Na Leo Pilimehana long after the holidays are over. Mele Kalikimaka!!!

I bought this CD for friends and relatives alike because every time they heard mine, they all wanted to borrow. The best rendition of Ave Maria and O Holy Night to come along is a long long time.

The harmonies are excellent. A must hear!!

na leo has the sound of hawaiian christmas angles. thier voices are beautiful when singing traditional hawaiian music but they sound simply angelic on this cd.

Such a beautiful Christmas CD! It brings back wonderful times in Hawaii...these women have absolutely gorgeous voices that everyone should hear!

Na Leo is beautiful. If you want to experience angels singing in your own home buy this and many more of their music...it is awesome. Their voices are so soothing they will take all your worries away.

Mahalo Amazon.com and family!

This album is truly amazing. It provides great versions of Christmas standards, as well as Hawaiian Christmas classics. The nice thing about this, as with the other Na Leo albums, you do not have to live in Hawaii to truly enjoy their music.

Today, for the first time, I heard the remake of "The Poetry Man". I called the radio station and they said it was done by Na Leo. None of the record stores have heard of her, so I came on here. It won't give me a chance to listen to any of it, or to see whether that song is on it or not. If it is, I want to buy it immediately! It is the prettiest remake of a song that I've ever heard!!! Please tell me how I can find out if that song is on this album.
