Hawaiian Slack Key Christmas is genre melding of the best sort: incredible guitar playing in the Hawaiian tradition dominates the disc, but the material is mostly familiar holiday carols. The result is a truly original and refreshingly low-key take on Christmas music. Keola Beamer's version of "Away in a Manger" is filled with jazzy bass touches; Led Kaapana and Bob Brozman's "Jingle Bells" is a hard-driving and virtuosic showpiece, with Brozman seemingly working the entire fretboard; and Bla Pahanui's arrangement of "O Come All Ye Faithful" is gorgeous and creative. Ozzie Kotani's "First Noel" is understated but a touch too sentimental and the three vocal tracks--by Dennis Kamakahi, Leonard Kwan, and Joanie & Ruth Komatsu--seem out of place amid all these lush guitar textures. That said, this is still a great album and a wonderful alternative for guitar lovers who've worn out their copies of John Fahey's legendary Christmas album. --Jason VerlindeCustomer Reviews:

Can't wait to listen to it each year.......2006-11-10
The music is bright and lyrical. It manages to be distinctly Hawaiian while also being very Christmasy. I have never been in Hawaii for the holidays (although we are going on December 26 this year). However, this disk manages to capture what (I imagine) the holidays must be like in place where one should expect "liquid sunshine in place of snow."
I bought the disk a few years ago because I liked the cover, I love Hawaiian music and I wanted another holiday disk. I was not disappointed!
In our house, it would not be the holidays without this disk.
Gorgeous and dignified Hawaiian Christmas album........2003-11-17
Three of the songs are new, with two of them written by Louis Kauakahi, the trio member who does all the vocal arrangements: "Sing Praises to Him," and "Come Now, It's Christmas." Another new song, "E Ke Keiki, E Iesu" by Frank Kawaikapuokalani Hewett, closes the album. The honesty of feeling and simplicity of accompaniment make the songs' messages all the stronger. On the non-religious songs, the references to Christmas lu'aus, aloha, swaying palms, lau'lau, opi'i, and Santa arriving on a surfboard are special fun for those of us more accustomed to songs about "winter wonderlands."
As is often the case with Hawaiian albums, the "whole family" is involved here, with guest appearances by Rocky Brown, Robi Kahakalau, and Darlene Ahuna. "Silent Night" is particularly interesting, as it begins with a guitar rendition of "Dona Nobis Pacem," with Sistah Robi singing solo. Partway through this carol, the melody is taken over by Darlene Ahuna, with Sistah Robi and Darlene singing a duet for the conclusion.
The Makaha Sons' voices range from bass to falsetto. The tenor line is particularly sweet, and all voices blend to create a mellow and dignified presentation of traditional carols, a gorgeous "Mele Kalikimaka" gift to their many fans. Mary Whipple, whose heart is at Mauna Kea.

Spectacular arrangements, spectacular voices........2004-11-19
Among their special talents is their ability to combine two or more completely different songs, singing them simultaneously--in this case, "God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen/ Joy to the World (which is outstanding)" "Away in a Manger/ Ho'omaika'i (a traditional Hawaiian song of celebration)," and "Ring Those Bells/Christmas Luau," the harmonies of which are, unfortunately, a bit muddy in the "Ring Those Bells" section. Every song sung by the Cazimeros is a "star turn," with elaborate arrangements to showcase their many talents, and this Christmas album is no exception. Mary Whipple, whose heart is at Mauna Kea.
