Product Description
I Ku Mau Mau is a group of friends that have been playing together
since their college days at University of Southern California. Mark Goto
(Punahou 1976), Richard Heirakuji (Kamehameha 1977) and Kimo Naylon
(Damien 1976) started playing together for USC luaus and Hawaiian gatherings
in Southern California. Along the way, the group grew to include Randall
Fukino
(Kamehamena 1974), Hattie Phillips (Punahou 1966), and Donald Kaulia (Waianae
1980). Randall became the voice of I Ku Mau Mau and Hattie supports his
lead vocals. Donald Kaulia, a slack key virtuoso, adds his guitar perfection
to complement
the group's vocals. To help put all this together they have joined forces
with
accomplished musician, producer and Hoku Award Winner Audy Kimura.
Mr. Herb Mahelona allowed us to record his music and four of the songs
are original first time recordings.
One of the goals was to put together a musical project that would bring
a smile
to someone's face as they deal with the frustrations of living away from
Hawaii.
We have a unique culture that sets us apart from any other people in the
world and
remains unique to these Islands. We hope that the kama'aina living abroad
will listen
to our music and the music will lessen the frustration of being away from
home and
the wonderful experiences that they had growing up here in Hawaii. Their
appreciation
should carry over to the commuter from the West end of Oahu that sits in
traffic
on a daily routine and deals with the stress of city life.
The love for Hawaiian music has allowed us to continue to grow together
over the
years and share with one another and we hope that you will enjoy our music.
Aloha-
Iku Mau Mau (Randall Fukino, Mark Goto, Richard Heirakuji,
Hattie Phillips, Donald Kaulia & Kimo Naylon)
