About the Artist
Na Leo Pilimehana, which in Hawaiian means the voices blending together in warmth, is the most popular, award winning and biggest selling female Hawaiian group in the World. Na Leo consists of three childhood friends, Nalani Choy, Lehua Kalima Heine and Angela Morales. They run their own record label company; they compose, write lyrics, record and perform music; they do volunteer work; play sports and they're moms and wives. They are real women with real lives sticking close to their ideals and putting their friendship first.

Angela, Lehua and Nalani met in seventh grade at Kamehameha Schools where they all became members of the concert glee club. They had their first hit as seniors when they entered Hawaii's youth talent contest, "Brown Bags to Stardom" with their original song, "Local Boys." The tune, "an ode to the bronzed and buffed," as local writer David Choo says, blasted onto the charts and remained at #1 for months. Stoked by the response, they put out their first hit album, also called "Local Boys" which included three other original compositions. The next year, the hit single "Local Boys" won the prestigious Hoku Music Award (Hawaii's version of the Grammys) and became the best selling single in Hawaii's history, a record that still stands today. Over the course of their career, Na Leo has released 18 CDs, won over 20 Hoku Awards, have been in the top 20 AC charts nationally.

5.0 out of 5 stars Na Leo: Warm and Lovely as always, May 24, 2009

By	A. Tonne "Denturedude" (Amarillo, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Another CD typical of Na Leo's repertoire. Though much of their music sounds similar, it is all different, entertaining and so enjoyable to listen to. I am so glad they continue to produce new songs, providing fresh material for those of us who enjoy their talents so much. Please ladies, keep singing and thank you for sharing the abilities God has given you for making beautiful music together.
