JUST WHAT I NEEDED.......2006-07-28

As a karaoke jock running a Hawaiian Night Special, I needed some real Hawaiian music. I found exactly what I needed at Amazon.com. The music was appropiate and good quality. Thank you Amazon-------------Jerry

huh?.......2004-06-24

I got this thinking that I would hear songs that I know. You would enjoy this music if you were born before 1940. Senior Snooze. Didn't expect Hawaiian Organ Music.

Hawaiian music from Canada.......2004-05-05

If you love Hawaiian music, then you'll hate this CD. Please don't buy this CD if you in any way shape or form like Hawaiian music. When you open up the CD jewel case, you will see that it's made in Canada, not in Hawaii or by Hawaiians. I gave the CD the benefit of the doubt and gave it a spin. After listening to this abomination on my ears, I felt as if I was trapped in a bad restaurant with a Hawaiian theme and this CD was playing in the PA speakers.

Not for hula teachers.......2003-11-04

This is pleasant enough but not useful for dancers.

Just Love It!!.......2003-08-05

I received this album just a few days ago and have already played it so many times I have lost count! It is beautiful music and the price is so reasonable for 20 songs with great sound quality. For nearly an hour it easily transports my mind to a restful beach in Hawaii!

"Lovely Hula Hands" is absolutely lovely. I just about always repeat it, but each song is really delightful. It is mostly instrumental with soft steel guitars and ukuleles and a few easy-listening vocals which fit in very nicely. I do not think you will ever be disappointed with this CD.

This cd literally transports you to the jungle rich islands of the Pacific. Good stuff.

Best of the Best.......2007-05-15

I've always enjoyed the sounds of exotica and especially when skillfully done by martinb Denny. This CD compiles the best from his long career. The folksat Ultra Lounge have put together a really enjoyable and easy listening CD. Be sure to mix a Mai Tai before listening.

Jungle Jim adventures.......2007-02-03

You can image yourself immersed in the jungle with unseen creatures making weird and wonderful sounds. Truly a curious and novel album. Nicely packaged with a beaut booklet with pictures and interesting info. A great addition to my lounge music collection. Sonics brilliantly mastered by Bob Norberg.

Exotica Please.......2007-01-17

Martin Denny usually strikes you with his irrestible sound. Here the music is great and the sonics are as well. What more can you ask for - except if you find this kind of music too exotic for your taste. Live a little - if "Misirlou" doesn't perk up your soul, I frankly don't know what can?

Customer Reviews:

Brothers always maikai.......2007-02-18

The Cazimero Brothers are always maikai (good) but I usually prefer the songs they sing in Hawaiian as opposed to English. However, track #16 on this album, "Come Become Hawai'i" speaks to my heart. One hula halau in Kamuela was rehearsing the hula they were putting to this mele, and it absolutely gave me chicken skin. Beautiful to listen to- beautiful to look at. If you buy this album, be sure to listen carefully to the last track. It describes beautiful Hawai'i nei so perfectly. One of the things I love about traditional Hawaiian music is how often the songs describe the beauty of the islands & the Hawaiian people. Tears to my eyes-- joy to my heart. Mahalo nui to Roland & Robert.

very good.......2006-01-25

This cd is damn right impressive in that it only covers their first few albums, all of which i own by the way, and its perfect listening from top to bottom. This achievement not only ranks as one of the best hawaiian albums of all time, but one of the most beautifully and masterfully crafted pieces of art that this country should treasure.

Play it when you feel 'homesick' for Hawaii.......2000-01-17

The Best of the Brothers Cazimero is bound to land on the CD players of anyone who has spent any time in Hawaii, as a means to summoning the beauty of the islands though far away.

The song "Nani Hanalei" takes me directly to the lovely island of Kauai, and the CD as a whole reminds me of driving on Molokai near sunset as the local public radio station played tunes from the Brothers Cazimero. They sing in Hawaiian and English, and this disk serves as a nice summary of their career.

Absolutely Great...Period.......1999-08-23

This is a great compilations of the Brothers Cazimero's past recordings...I really like the first song

Excellent contemporary sound with a Hawaiian flavor........1999-08-09

I bought this album recently in Honolulu and have enjoyed it often since bringing it home. The melodies and harmonies are truly lovely. Good contemporary listening with an island flavor; this is excellent romantic and mood music.

Driving Music for Hawaii.......2007-03-05

Get this for driving on the Islands. It makes the drive time pass enjoying the scenery with the music.

The Tiki Bar Is Now Open!.......2006-02-08

This is an wonderful collection of carefree Hawaiian tunes and contemporary pop songs sung "Island Style!" From the reggae sounding 'Tropical Hawaiian Day' to the more traditional 'Kawika' and the unexpected 'Elvira' you'll feel the gentle ocean breeze and the aloha spirit surround you.

Great music for an evening around the pool and be sure you're drinking something fruity with an umbrella in it. Relax, enjoy and stay until the bar is closed!

Mmmmm..... brings back memories........2005-09-23

I have been to Hawaii twice and until recently, never looked into Hawaiian music. I always assumed it was all like Don Ho or the crying steel guitars of the 60's and 70's. The funny thing is, I don't remember hearing any of that kind of music while I was there. I remember hearing a different style of music played live at the hotels and resturaunts. On my first trip, I have a vivid memory of laying in bed trying to go to sleep about 8:00 pm. My wife and I had just arrived that day and had jet lag. We were listening to the music coming from the resturaunt outside our hotel. We both thought, we are so tired that we should be angry about this, but this music is really good. Since our last trip, I got to wondering if anyone has ever recorded that style of music because I really liked it. Simple music, with a guitar and Uke, but with a style that has Hawaii written all over it. Based on a recomendation from a Hawaiian themed website, I tried this CD without ever hearing it. What a pleasant surprise. This CD has become one of my favorites. In fact, Brown Eyed Girl reminds me so very much of the group that played in Waikiki that first night back in '92 that I sometimes wonder if it was the Crater Boys playing that night. Soon after getting this CD, I began to order the other CD's by the Crater Boys. I love their music and so does most everyone I play it for.

Extremely fantastic!.......2004-03-25

Seems like if you have been to Hawaii, you will have heard this music before at the Airport or in Waikiki or on TV.

I am a resident who lived in Hawaii for half my life, and then lived internationally for a long time. I have been away from Hawaiian music for some time. I was in a used book store on Oahu today and I heard track #11, Wahine Ilikea. Somehow it struck me as the best ever rendition of Wahine Ilikea that I have ever heard.

When I asked for tha album name the man in the music store got all excited and he suggested that if I haven't heard this album then I would love to hear another abum and he recommended my favorite Hawaiian group.

Just from that alone I deduced that this CD must be a great Hawaiian classic.

It is said that this song compares the white clouds of Molokai to a woman. On the side of Molokai that is away from the tradewinds, there is a place called Kamalo`oa, and legend has it that there is a lava tube that connects to the north coas, and people lived in the tube.

As a bonus you also get a great song #7 Kawika.

Must get it.

Upbeat and infectious.......2003-05-02

This CD conains some joyful music that will put you in a Hawaiian mood no matter where you are. The musicianship is outstanding. The Crater boys can really pick and the song selection is flawless. One wonderful upbeat foot tapping tune follows another. Guaranteed to put a smile on your face so put on your best Aloha shirt , mix a mai-tai and kick back with this.

My review of the latest Caz Collection.......2001-08-24

This album is really great, compiling both slow and fast songs, traditional and new compositions, all in the unique Cazimero style. Add in the fact that most of these songs aren't avalible on CD yet, and this becomes a must buy! A great disc overall! In particular, I love "Kai Wai Lehua 'A'ala Ka Honua", "Na'Ale o Ni'ihau" and my all time favorite, "Makee Ailana". Can't wait for Volume 4!

This bouncy collection of instantly recognizable Hawaiian music is composed mainly of popular music standards such as "Blue Hawaii," "Pearly Shells," and "Polynesian Love Song." That's not to say you won't find a beach-full of traditional themes and melodies as well. "Papia-Tahiti Nui" includes a near-tsunami of instrumental motifs found on folk music samplers like the Dancing Cat label's Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar Masters CDs, though here the unnamed performer flings out high-spirited riffs on an electric lap steel guitar instead of an acoustic instrument. The arrangements are crisp, clean, and to the point, relying on strummed guitar, steel guitar, vocals, and plenty of energy. This release is the first disc of the two-CD set All the Best from Hawaii: 40 Hawaiian Favorites, so for a larger dose of island bliss you might look to that collection. --Bob Tarte

Music of Real Hawaii.......2001-03-30

Reeve's review which termed this the music of racism couldn't be more wrong. Having lived 30 yearsin Hawaii I can tell you that this is the real thing embodying the spirit of aloha. Mr. Reeves has had his brain corrupted by the racism and greed of Haunani Trask, an part-Hawaiian lawyer, professor and female chauvanist. The modern music he talks about is just Hawaiian hippie junk mixed with the music of a very few talented people.

The music of racism.......2000-07-29

It is exactly this type of music that perpetuates the degrading and predatory stereotypes of Hawai'i. The whole cd -- and others like it -- is packaged in the same way tourism is packaged: Hawai'i is a sweet, safe place with a servile culture, peaceful history, and disconnection from the "real world." Don't believe any of it. Hawai'i was invaded by the United States in a military coup and native Hawaiians subsequently stripped of power and respect. This is the music of that domination -- like all insidious racism, it is perpetuated "innocently" by reducing an entire people and culture to a cartoon. The real Hawai'i lies beyond Diamond Head in Makaha, Moili'ili, Hanalei. If you want to really know Hawai'i and Hawaiian music, purchase the music of Keali'i Reichel and Israel Kamakawiwo'ole and really listen to them. You'll be doing yourself and a millenium of a strong people a favor.

And while you're at it, go look up the author Haunani-Kay Trask!

With Dennis gone now, it was heart warming to listen to the old melodies and think back to when these performances were originally recorded. The harmonies will live on forever, thanks to compilation CD's like this one.

Mackey Feary is the Best.......2007-04-03

I like the song "Inarajan", which is a village on the U.S. Territory Of Guam, where Mackey, lived for few years. The group held "FREE" concerts back then. The group was more popular in Japan. Kalapana, in my opinion is one of the best bands that came out of Hawaii.

Kona Girl.......2006-03-15

The unique blend of island sounds, pop/jazz music set an unforgetable album. The song's, "Naturally", and "You Make It Hard", will forever remind me of home. Kalapana will relax, revive, and uplift your spirit every time you hear this wonderful album. Although, far from home this music takes me home everytime.

Hawaii's Golden Age of Soft/Pop.......2003-02-11

This compilation is the pinnacle of Hawaii's pop golden age in the seventies. The local-pop market here has since morphed with strong roots and raga-reggae influences. The late Mackey Feary's smooth melodies well represent island romance while Malani Bilyeu's voice flares with traditional island fervor. The lyrical content is simply skillful. The vocal harmonizations and instrumental mix are uplifting. Every track is a champion.

Best of Kalapana Vol. 1.......2001-07-03

The 13 tracks on this CD present Kalapana's best and most accessible tracks in one neat single-disc package. This has all their most-played songs on Hawaii pop radio during their 70's run, splitting the tracks evenly among the two vocalists: Mackey Feary's light jazzy delivery is countered with Malani Bilyeu's wistful introspective crooning. Although this may lack a few important cuts such as the jazzy, experimental "Black Sand", I highly recommend this CD as an introduction to this group for those who like light romantic soft rock.
