Product Description

The rhythms, music and sweetness of our people laid its tender caress over the
land drawing dreamers from afar to visit Hawaii’s shores. This, the first in a series of
musical collections features songs so special, so rare that these are tunes that were
danced to under moonlight or were listened to where ever you went. Today when you
hear these songs, folks of that generation become misty eyed; the music transports
them to a different time, a simpler time.

This series and band name, Faithfully Yours is a simple statement of our adoration
for that time in our history. Volume 1 is dedicated to Kimo Alama Keaulana, a lecturer,
author, Kumu hula and entertainer. His collection of music housed at the Bishop Music
Archives contain over a thousand Hawaiian compositions and is the most used collections
at the museum. His dedication to the preservation of Hawaii’s music and
island history is legendary.
