5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite new Hawaiian music!, January 15, 2007

Living in Hawaii, I am fortunate to hear lots of terrific Hawaiian music of all genres. Life in These Islands is my absolute favorite new recording! Perfectly titled, this CD captures daily living in paradise -- from activities with our ohana, to visualizing crashing surf, rustling palm trees and gorgeous hula -- you will feel you are really here. Jack Johnson is a guest performer - just adding to the delights of this beautiful work. You won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brings me back..., June 11, 2007

If I had to pick just one CD that brings me back to my days living in and enjoying the Hawaiian Islands, this would be it. The amazing talent of Kaukahi's virtuoso musicians, especially the voice of Kawika which embodies the pulse of the islands themselves, easily transports me back to the emotion, warmth, and pace of island life.

I highly recommend buying this CD!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I heard Kaukahi in person when my wife and I were in Honolulu in April, 2010. The disc, which we got from the group, captures their sound impeccably - mellow, lush harmonies and great (sometimes intricate) guitar work, a mix of traditional Hawaiian and contemporary songs, all acoustic. While driving around Oahu and Maui for 10 days it served as the perfect soundtrack to our vacation. Back home in greater Boston, the CD transports us to the islands immediately. Favorite tracks: title track, "Life in These Islands", "There is a Way." Guest appearance: by their buddy Jack Johnson. Interesting connection: one of the four players is a nephew of the late great Izzy - you can hear it in his voice. In summary, this CD is a must-have for those who have been to the islands, live there, or have ever thought of going. Be sure to check out the song samples. Mahalo and aloha!
