Customer Reviews:

The real deal -- ancient Hawaiian chants.......2004-12-04

Authentic, for-real, hardcore traditional hula chants, sung a capella by two brothers who were born in Honolulu but later grew up in Los Angeles. The Kanilau's were both very active in Hawaiian cultural preservation efforts, and they sing these songs with great warmth and sincerity; these recordings are probably much more accessible than other, earlier "field recording" style albums of similar material. Great liner notes, too. Worth checking out!

What is this?.......2003-07-06

I listened to the 4 tracks on your site and ancient chants sound like a jazz trio. This must be a mistake
