Various - I Am Hawaii Stars Of Hawaii

Review by Naoko Yoshioka

The album I Am Hawaii Stars Of Hawaii by Various is a beautiful collection of music that showcases the talent and diversity of Hawaiian music. The album features a variety of artists, including traditional Hawaiian musicians as well as contemporary artists, all of whom bring their unique style and sound to the album.

The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "Kaulana Na Pua," a traditional Hawaiian song that sets the tone for the rest of the album. From there, listeners are treated to a mix of upbeat, danceable tunes like "Hawaiian Style" and "Hawaiian Lullaby," as well as more introspective, emotional songs like "Ku'u Home O Kahalu'u" and "Ku'uipo I Ka He'e Pu'e One."

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Pua Hone," a duet between two of Hawaii's most beloved musicians, Keali'i Reichel and Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. The song is a beautiful tribute to the beauty and fragility of Hawaii's natural environment, and showcases the power and emotion that can be conveyed through music.

Summary by Naoko Yoshioka

I Am Hawaii Stars Of Hawaii is a must-listen for anyone who loves Hawaiian music, or anyone who wants to experience the beauty and diversity of Hawaii's culture. The album is a true celebration of the Aloha spirit, and will leave listeners feeling uplifted and inspired.
