Customer Reviews

Excellent a must have for slack key enthusiasts
Everytime I travel to the mainland I think of Keola and Kapono's tribute to their home in "Honolulu City Lights" and "Honolulu City Lights" is the song that I recall every time I return. The Beamer Brothers are from a well known and well respected musical family in Hawai'i spanning many generations. The songs on the album tend to reflect their Hawaiian heritage and the real music of Hawai'i. For those who enjoy slack key guitar this is a must have album!

Joyous Time Machine
First off, I must correct amazon's listing. I believe this album was first released in 1976 and not 1987. I was finishing high school on Oahu when Keola and Kapono was starting the revival of real Hawaiian music and would go into Waikiki to listen to their show. The music still gives me chills. This is not the traditional "Haole" music but the blend of real Hawaiian spirit and Aloha with traditional and western instruments. They are great artists and their music always lifts me up.

One of my favorite recordings
I fell in love with "Honolulu City Lights" when it was first released in the late 70's and I was living in Hawaii. The vocal talents of Keola and Kapono struck me from the first time I heard them. Over the years, I played this album again and again. Then, true to the times, after purchasing a new stereo without a record player, I could no longer listen to my favorite of all albums. A recent trip to Honolulu renewed my interest and, much to my delight, I found the "Honolulu City Lights" CD. Six weeks later, the CD is still in my car stereo, and I listen to it every day. Twenty years has only increased my love of this album and the beautiful music the Beamer Brothers created.
