5.0 out of 5 stars Hard To Describe, August 4, 2002

We found this music while having lunch one summer afternoon at the Aloha-Angel Cafe on the Big Island's Kona coast. It was one of those afternoons where the sky has clouded over, threatening a shower, and a cool breeze is rewarding you on a warm summer afternoon in Hawaii. We were watching the gecko on the veranda railing and listening to the music as we enjoyed our lunch. Well, the lunch was one of the best we've had on our Hawaii vacation (one of those times in one's life that will never be forgotten) and we noticed that the music playing was very unusual ... obviously Hawaiian, but a little folksy/jazzy at the same time, while always being mellow and unique and definitely influencing our enjoyment of a very wonderful experience. We asked our friends (who have spent much more time in Hawaii than we have, and have found some wonderful island music) if they recognized what was playing. They didn't recognize it so we asked the waiter ... and in a few minutes he had produced the CD jacket for us to examine ... it was "Local Girls".

We immediately went from our wonderful lunch at Aloha-Angel, to the Kona [local bookstore] to buy a copy of this CD. Alas, it is very popular in Hawaii, as not only did [local bookstore] not have it in Kona (they were sold out), every other place we checked in Hawaii was also sold out. We finally found a [local bookstore] in Oahu, outside of Honolulu that had several copies (we were afraid that if we waited until we returned to the mainland, we would never find it - forgetting completely that Amazon might have it!). We bought ours and a copy for our friends who had already returned to the mainland. All I can say is that this music will forever remind me of our fantastic lunch at the Aloha-Angel Cafe in Kailua-Kona, with our best friends, and a very special summer afternoon. I hope this exceptional music will please you as much as it has us.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cruising in the convertible, I heard...., January 18, 2003

I heard the most awesome Hawaiian, yet funky music that was great background music for where I was... in Maui! Those girls have great voices, and I have to say I actually heard this song "Promised love" about 4 times in one day, so I finally asked a man at a local market who was singing this song! I found out, and now have the cd! Maui NO KA OI!

5.0 out of 5 stars Back from vacation in Hawaii and I had to have this music!!, December 18, 2001

While vacationing in Hawaii recently, I listened to a local radio station. Two of my favorite songs on the radio were "Over" and "Promised Love". When I returned home, I searched the internet for those songs, and to my surprise they were both by the same group - Keahiwai!! This is such a fun album and takes me back to Hawaii with it's unique sounds and sights!! What a bonus to find "When You Say Nothing At All" on this album too - it's one of my all time favorite songs!! (...)
