Product Description

Kainani Kahaunaele’s Debut Solo CD, “Na’u ‘Oe” (“you Belong To Me”), is a collection of original
and traditional compositions by a remarkable new talent from Anahola, Kaua’i.

Kainani reinvigorates the tradition of “haku mele” of Hawaiian composition bringing to mind
the richly layered and tightly structured songs of such Hawaiian musical legends as Johnny
Almeida, Helen Desha Beamer, and even Queen Lili’uokalani. Kainani draws on a diverse
and accomplished background: crewmember aboard the Makali’i sailing canoe, university
Hawaiian language instructor, curriculum developer, and musician with the group Kahikina
of Hilo and Kauha’a of O’ahu.

At the core of her talent is a family musical tradition passed down from her grandmother,
Kanani Kahaunaele and her mother, Ipo Kahaunaele. Raised in the beauty of Anahola on
Kaua‘a’s north coast, Kainani’s love of music was nurtured by a strong family and a
vibrant, living Hawaiian culture.

Featuring Kainani’s rich voice “Na’u ‘Oe” offers classic Hawaiian arrangements textured with
jazz and contemporary flavors backedby some of Hawai’i’s best vocal and musical talent
including: Pancho Graham; Darryl Gonzales; Manu Boyd; Byron Yasui; John Baricuatro Jr.;
and Kiliona “Moku” Young.

‘Aha P_nana Leo is proud to produce this collection of songs deeply rooted in Hawaiian culture.
The songs speak of that which we treasure: love of language, love of knowledge, love of Akua,
love of family, and love of the land. E ola ka ‘_lelo Hawai’i!
