Album Description
Keola Beamer's masterful slack key guitar interpretation of 13 classic hits on this tribute album breathes new life into the beloved songs of the 1970's, a time now known as the "Hawaiian Renaissance." Beamer honors his contemporaries, such as Olomana, Kalapana, C&K, Sunday Manoa and Country Comfort, all who helped shape the local Hawaiian music scene. Superb vocal work, exquisite arrangements, masterful slack key guitar make Mohala Hou a collector's treasure. Beamer bridges a nostalgic sense of time and place with the relevance special people and memories always hold in our hearts.

Going home never sounded so good..rhapsodic and pertinent...superb vocal work...a hallmark band... kiho'alu wizardry...

From the Artist

Customer Reviews

Sweet homecoming
Prepare to open your heart and your memory box as you listen to the sweet sounds of some of Hawai'i's most beloved contemporary songs. Keola's aloha for his friends' music and golden era for revival of Hawaiian pride comes through every song. The melodies grabbed me and stayed with me for days, even as this CD stayed in my player for weeks! Suddenly, I recognized other versions of Ku'u Home o Kahalu, Sunflower, Pretty Girl playing everywhere --- bookstores, the airport, the radio. After listening, Keola's renditions are inevitably my favorites! You'll agree -- he's the master.
