THE KALIMA BROTHERS & THE RICHARD
KAUHI QUARTETTE
The Ukulele & the Piano Were Combined to Ignite a
Hawaiian Music Revolution – 1940’s! |
The
Kalima Brothers & the Richard Kauhi Quartette will transport you back in time to the late 1940’s, where, at the
edge of Waikiki, the ukulele and the piano were combined to ignite a Hawaiian music revolution. Two innovative
Hawaiian musicians, Jesse Kalima and Richard Kauhi, became Hawaiian music legends! 14 tracks by the Kalima
Brothers collectively known as “1000 Pounds of Melody”, and 11 tracks by the Richard Kauhi Quartette. The Kalima
Brothers became a smash hit in post-war Honolulu. Their rambunctious sound featured solid multi-part harmonies,
embellished with intricate ukulele, piano, and steel guitar solos all propelled by a rollicking katchi-katchi
dance beat. By the summer of 1948, a new musical rage hit Honolulu in the form of the Richard Kauhi Quartette.
Their hybrid jazzy sound featured flawless four-part vocals driven by intricate piano arrangements. Fabulous
innovative style!! A true joy! These are legendary Hawaiian musicians – what a treat to have them together on one
CD! Nominated for Anthology of the Year! |
