Product Description

     We realize that who we are began many generations ago.  In admiration of that golden
era, we’ve chosen only few of so many classic Hawaiian tunes in honor of the traditional
Hawaiian trio.  It is because of those pioneers that we are able to enjoy and appreciate the
opportunity we have today to incorporate our contemporary sounds into the firm foundation
we all know and love called Hawaiian music.  On this first album we tribute the bountiful places
of rare and unrivaled beauty found only in Hawaii.   Then & Now Ma’o, Ma’ane’i allows us
to perpetuate a musical legacy that is far from forgotten, but is alive and well and continues
to evolve through our generation.

     The goal of the group UA and this album Then & Now Ma’o, Ma’ane’i, is to elevate
the prestige of Hawaiian music similar to the legacy left by such classic groups like the Kahauanu
Lake trio.  In no means are we going to try and replicate or be a spin off of any group that preceded
us, but we would like to parallel to the Hawaiian music scene of today -what the Kahauanu Lake trio
and other similarly prestigious groups have done during their time in the late 1960’s through the 70’s. 
They set a new standard of performing and created a different sound than what was being
played at that time.

     When people buy this album, it will be unlike anything out there in the Hawaiian music
market today.  The album is compiled with traditional songs, songs that have been chosen
and taken from a generation past.  It will be familiar songs with familiar tunes but sung in such a
way that will leave listeners wanting more.  It was our intent to refresh and sprinkle a little rain on
some of these classic songs.  Buyers will also be treated to an original song never heard
before,  Laehala written by renowned Hoku Award winning song- writer Julian Ako.  Also listeners
will be treated to a beautiful rendition of the traditional Tahitian song Bora Bora, which was
sung by guest Polynesian R&B recording artist Reign.  In its entirety, the musical arrangements
and the vocal harmonies are so unique and distinct that the sound can only belong
to one group…UA!
