5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful, mellow CD, September 17, 1999

Keola Beamer and Dennis Kamakahi are the best of Hawaiian slack-key guitarists and vocalists. This CD earns the five stars I gave it. If you have never been involved with Hawaiian slack-key guitar, here is a great place to start.

This review is from: Kolonahe (From The Gentle Wind) (Audio CD)

This is my favorite CD of Keola's. I saw him in concert in Lihue in March, 2001 and was blown away by his gracious and loving performance. But it was cut #8 from this collection, He Wahine Hololio, that completely captivated me with its evocative tuning and lyrics. The last song also lures you with his romantic and resonant vocals....though George Winston's piano accompaniment is a bit too ponderous for my taste....but I guess you can't turn down the producer when he wants to play !! And who can't fall in love with Honolulu City Lights tune.....listening to this CD is the next best thing to being there! You won't regret this purchase.

This review is from: Kolonahe (From The Gentle Wind) (Audio CD)

This is a beautiful album. It is slow, it is soothing and it is refreshing. I have had the chance to live in Hawaii among its people and its nature. This cd reflects the Hawaii I know, before it got crowded and strained.....this is what I remember, this is what I want to remember. The cd suggests kindness and aloha. It is quietly stirring. I love it.
