Ka Ipo Lei Manu expressed grief at losing love. It is haunting. And the uncles are awesome - Kupuna Gabbys voice is incomparable. Today is Kapi’olani(s) la hanau. Aloha no ke alii. Aloha no Kupuna Gabby PAHINUI.
I'm an old man now,but my sister got me to beloved Hawaii for a month when I was 20. The spirit will dwell in my heart forever. I smoked strong pakalolo with Iz,and had a transcendant musical experience when he performed "Wahine Ilikea". No place or people in the world like Hawaii ❤️.
After a horrific tour in Viet Nam, I got to spend three years on Oahu listening to Gabby play slack-key and hang out on the North Shore drinking Primo. I honestly believed those years were the best of my life.
Dear Frank. Who knows if you'll ever see this comment 8 years after yours.? But I throw out to you this~ I just am moved to tell you, there is NO music like Hawai'ian music to soothe our soul! Gabby is the master. I've lived here 50 years, Big Island. Gabby is just ...the Pahinui!! lol My father also served in that terrible war, although as a B-52 pilot/aircraft commander. I was a teen then & against that war. But I NEVER held with the terrible sentiments vilifying those who fought. I want you to know, Vietnam veterans hold a very special place in my heart. I have mad respect for all our veterans. But those who served in Vietnam are especially loved by me. God bless you for your sacrifice in service. I personally thank you for it. I hope to God your life is good, & I would be so proud to shake your hand. Keep listening to Hawai'ian music. Nothing can compare in my view! God bless you and yours.
Remember walking thru Woolworths in Honolulu in 1978 and this was playing. Went to the counter, bought it (vinyl) brought it home (Orange Cali). Still have it today. Good memories. Wishing I was young again and do it a second time. One of the best times of my life. Thanks Gabby.
My pops and Gabby were friends and co-workers. I remember hanging out at his house, listening to Gabby and his sons play music, my dad would sing with them...I never knew what I was blessed with...as a hanabata nosed kid, you miss so much...now I miss my dad and all he shared with me...but I have my memories...and the internet to share them with many.
Respect to all the PAHINUIS, what joy they brought, bring, and will continue to bring as long as we have ears to hear. Special thanks to Uncle Bla for his love and generosity to all he encountered. ~ Jimbo
How i love and caress my cd with this song as the one of the most emotionally hitting - sheer relaxation. Virtuoso multi guitar play .. rythm...percussion. May this live on forever in Hawain culture..
Mahalo Biff for sharing this. Brings back a lot of memories and I remember my dad pointing out Pu'uanahulu from the house and then playing the song. It is a memory I have carried with me for life.
I played this song at KGU, Honolulu in 74, and 45-years later, I'm still playing it at home. Gabby' & Sonny's vocals are haunting, and Cyril, Bla, Joe Gang, Atta, Randy and Ry's musicianship is phoenominal. The final jam, is hypnotic!! This is "old-school" Hawaiian-music at it's best. Really listen !!
@@roomens8356 Sorry, but I don’t read or understand music, but I know good music when I hear it. I heard Gabby didn’t read music either. Just came from his soul!
you can tell the land of Hawaii produced this through them. they were great conductors of this beauty. God bless them for filling our hearts with the love of their land. It is a true blessing.
When I first bought this recording I was blown away. I still listen to it at least once a week .Gabby was king and the others were royalty . Cyril did a wonderful job of this tune as well
I arrived on the islands in 74 with the USN and luckily served the next 5 years there at Pearl. I was lucky enough to be there during the Hawaiian Renascence and heard many of the greats of Hawaiian music during that time. One in particular that I'll never forget is being invited out to Waimanalo for a Saturday party of a Hawaiian friend who worked in the welding shop on base. At the party as was normal was plenty of music being played with none the less Gabby playing happily. His voice has stayed with me for all those years and is one of the reasons I decided to live in Volcano on the Big Island with Pele for a neighbor
Hello, mfontz 1954~ How blessed to have had that experience~~da Pahinui!! I only got to see/hear him/them in concerts, not so informal. You're among the blessed, I tell you! I have no way of knowing if you'll see this comment, of course. But no mattah! (Responding to your comment after 8 years~ Probably unlikely. But das awright!) I came back to this page tonight to hear this great Gabby/ Bla/ Cyril/(et al) song! If by some chance you do see this, all these years later, please accept my humble gratitude for your service! I responded to Frank Nesbitt above some months ago, it says much of what I feel towards veterans of our Beloved Country~ plus the fact I've been a Punatic for nearly 50 years. If you still live Volcano, then we stay neighbors, brah. Main thing of it all is, cannot hear Gabby Pahinui, or most real Hawai'ian music~ without tears! I too arrived here right at the time Hawai'ian Rennaissance was getting rolling. 1973, and then met my man a month after getting here. (still together, still in love) What fantastic f**king years they were yeah?! I WILL live here until I die here~ on Big Island, because my heart's home is here forever! Along with every cell of me, formed of dis place! Thus my body too dwells here until my time's up. Every atom of this body will return to my home, Puna. Me ke aloha pumehana, brother!
This is a beautiful video. I first came to Hawaii 1 year after Gabby passed. I went to the first Gabby Pahinui Slack Key Guitar festival at Mc Coy pavilion. Met Sonny Chillingworth in SF through Saichi Kawahara, but most of the others were already gone when I got to Honolulu. The setting is so beautiful. And it's beautifully filmed. Ipo Lei Manu is one of the beautiful songs written by the 4 Royals: Queen Kahamanu wrote it for King Kalakaua as he left for SF. He died there and so never got to hear it. Didn't recognize cyril.
I just discovered that I -- a plain old haole from California -- am privileged to be related by marriage to Gabby Pahinui! I'm just now discovering his incredible music -- shame on me for taking so long!
Mahalo for sharing these priceless photos. Looks like you had the privilege of hanging out with these legendary Hawaiian musicians.Gabby has been my slack key inspiration for 40 years. Met Gabby the year before he passed away & played one song with him on that occasion. 30 plus years later & it's still the highlight of my slack key playing career. Mahalo nui loa again Biff Malama pono Duke
My dad owned a music shop downtown Honolulu. First of Bethel street across from the Hawaii theater. Then to King Street then at last to Nuuanu. All old timers came in to buy strings, picks and things. They used to come in and jam on the martins. Aunty Genoa and her gang. It was my childhood listening to them make music. They were my Hanai aunties and uncles. The place was called Sharps and Flats.
What a beautiful video! I have always loved this album and all of Gabby's work. I also was blessed to be living in the islands during the Renaissance. Last weekend I was at the Opry in Nashville, TN where Ry Cooder was performing. I was fortunate to spend some time talking with Ry regarding this recording and Gabby's other work. Many wonderful memories.
Shayne Fair What a special treat and gift, really, for Ry to be respected enough to play on Gabby's seminal album. I always wish I could pick his brain about playing with Pops.
My Dad, Sonny Ronolo, was the greens keeper at Olomana Golf Course back then. Gabby and my Dad regularly had a blast playing golf, laughing and having beers, more laughter and more beers together in the cart shop and close to home! The Man, the Myth, the Legend . . . ahhh sweet sweet memories. See you both in Heaven! 12-24-15/jkr
your dad Sonny was a friend of mine he worked at bret's Gym in kailua awesome man and strong for his age Gee i think he was in his 70s and lifting more weight than guys half his age RIP sonny in fact he held the senior word records miss that man ..........
Just "discovered" this because a RUclips friend half-a-world away turned me on to these great instrumentalists and that truly soulful voice...feels like I'm in nature and in church (I'm not religious), all at once.
I was lucky enough to see Gabby playing at the bar of the Old Blaisdell Hotel back must have been mid-70s. It was out in the courtyard and it was two be a two-night gig. Well it rained like crazy that first night but I was so happy to even have a chance to hear your dad play live that I didn't care. I even shared a beer with him after. He was my heroe. This video brings me to tears. Haole girl from the mainland.
hinamauka I was there, too, on the rainy night, too, with my girlfriend Mary Lee Jackson. Wonderful night, as you said. [sighhh.... good memories....] That would have been 1977 I think.
GABBY is as much a part of hawaii as duke kahanamoku is, both of them and others have given hawaii the feel that keeps people coming back year after year. unreal!
Just heard this on a used vinyl copy of The Gabby Pahinui Hawaiian Band Vol. 1. Wow wow wow! Perfect song perfect vocals perfect guitar perfect percussion.
this going make me cry, thinking of growing up. the very place I wanted to run away from so bad is the very place I just want to go and rest my feet for a minute in.
i feel you, im like "should I be listening to this?" I didn't want to be sitting here crying and shit, I just wanted to hear some good music. Man I miss Hawaii.
One of the first of "the Hawaiian thing" brudda Paint Poepoe turned me on to and I've never changed the style of playing. THANK YOU Poepoe, you're always playing when I'm with my tiki! Mo'omomi was one of the saddest days but the w whales breaching was AWESOME!
My mother inlaw Lin Kiu, who managed the dining room for old House of Young in Kapahulu, while her husband and sons did all the cooking - would give Gabby free access to the bar cooler to help himself with the beer whenever they came to eat and relax. Mom would know how much to charge Gabby by the number of empty bottles he would stack up. I'm sure she short-counted a few here and there. Though mom couldn't speak much English, she and Gabby had a mutual agreement and would make small talk.

LOL. the only gene i didn't inherit from dad was skin color. ps check my youtube channel for a playlist of my dad :)

We need more music like this in the islands. Please everyone play music for hawaii. This kind of music should play in the streets as canned music in waikiki. And the airport. It will make people peaceful. I miss the old hawaii.

LOL, I do look exactly like Grampa and Dad. There's way more than "traces". Whatever. And for the record, I'm way more than "fairly" attractive. I'm one of the most gorgeous women on the planet, and I know it :) But I would still LOVE to have a freakin tan HAAHAHA. Who is this?
Gabby pahinui is my great grandpa
😮 what an honor!
What a blessing! beautiful melodies flowing in your bloodstream🌈❤mahalo nui loa!
It's a lovely melody anyway, but your Granddad elevated this song even more with such a pretty arrangement. 💖🌺

One of the songs that shaped my life & influenced my Hawaiian Music...
Uncle Gabby was influential in evry musician's life from my generation...

This is the soundtrack of Hawai'i. Close your eyes, and you're there.

Just "discovered" this because a RUclips friend half-a-world away turned me on to these great instrumentalists and that truly soulful voice...feels like I'm in nature and in church (I'm not religious), all at once.

LOL. the only gene i didn't inherit from dad was skin color. ps check my youtube channel for a playlist of my dad :)
Telling oneself 'they are most gorgeous on the planet' smells like arrogance to me.
What may look beautiful to one, is dowdy in someone else's eyes.
Appreciate what you have, as that will show through much more than outside 'beauty'
...and Tiny Malaikini
We need more music like this in the islands. Please everyone play music for hawaii. This kind of music should play in the streets as canned music in waikiki. And the airport. It will make people peaceful. I miss the old hawaii.
got 7 harmonicas..none fits in..anyone knows the Key of this superb song?
aloha biff, please contact me at your earliest convenience. mahalo! Joe-Sol Malaikini (Tiny's grandson).

Full-Blooded Native Hawaiians That Looked Like Gabby Pahinui Predominated In Hawaii Prior To European Colonization. Now That Phenotype Is Rare To See In Hawaii.
