Product Description

Butch Helemano has been playing and recording reggae music since 1976, and his first 45 rpm single
was release in 1977. This began a long career of live and recorded performances. Since that first release,
Butch has recorded over 120 original songs and released 18 CDs, with two in Brazil (on the Paradoxx label)
and two in Japan (on JVC Victor).

This compilation of 26 songs, are some of the best of Butch Helemano and the Players of Instruments.
Butch Helemano is a one-of-a-kind musician who seldom records music other than his own originals.
He has built up a network of fans worldwide via a grass roots following of devoted fans.

This compilation of 26 songs, are some of his best work. We hope that by releasing these songs of
long out-of-print recordings, a new generation of fans can enjoy the music and talent of Butch Helemano.
Butch has played reggae for over 26 years and has never forgotten his Native Hawaiian roots.
His songs reflect his culture in many ways.
