Very good if you're into the history of hawaiian music, not so if you just want fun hawaiian music to listen to

A gift to our daughter. She had lived in the Islands for some time when she was younger and she really enjoyed the music.

After multiple trips to Hawai'i I find this album represents the native music about 80%. There are better, but this is acceptable.I don't care for the 101 Strings arrangment on one song. The humor of "Room Service" dates about the time of the "mommie / Daddie" letters from summer camp. I have never heard true Opera on Maui.

This compilation makes for nice background music to a low key summer cocktail party. It's nice and has it's moment, but no one will remember what you played and it won't help propel your party into greatness. That said, I put it on when the kids are doing homework or I'm working with a new recipe or some such nonsense. It fills in the room without occupying my thoughts.

This is an excellent assortment of Hawaiian music from popular to classical styles. This CD does not represent one type of music but reflects a wide range from Hawaii's past to contemporary sounds. If you want to hear a broad range of Hawaiian music, then this CD if for you! I have a large collection of Hawaiian music and I was pleasantly surprised at this compilation! I highly recommend it for those who are new to Hawaiian music and to those who might want to open themselves up to something a little different. Also, any collection that has Brother IZ on it has to be good!

this cd has a wonderful assortment of artists.
highly recommended for anyone doing research. we look
forward to listening to the next two volumes.

How can this album not include Cecilio & Kapono and Kalapana?
