Raiatea Helm - A Legacy of Hawaiian Song & String, Volume One

Raiatea Helm's discussing the intention of her new release, "A Legacy of Hawaiian Song & String, Volume One".
From the Liner Notes by N. Haʻalilio Solomon:
Hoʻolaʻilaʻi nā manu i ke kāhuli leo leʻa o uka o Hoʻolehua -- The birds are stilled in repose by the voice of the kāhuli shell of the uplands of Hoʻolehua
Let us pause a moment to recognize the singularity of this album, exceptional in all senses of the word. It is remarkably rare that we are offered a musical contribution of such pristine vocals, superb poetry, and impeccable musicianship. The outcome is arresting, it is exquisite.

Mahalo nui for telling our story! I am the great grandson of Sam K. Nainoa and I continue on the tradition of playing the kika kila, the Hawaiian steel guitar. It is so wonderful to hear and share my ohana’s history with the world. So very inspiring. Mahalo Raiayea, Killin and Apple Mountain ❤ - Lonohonuakini Archambault
