Title Note

Personnel: Martin Pahinui (vocal, acoustic guitar); George Kuo (double-neck guitar); Bobby Ingano (steel guitar); George Winston (piano); Aaron Mahi (bass, background vocals).

Recorded at Audio Resource, Honolulu, Hawaii on July 16-19, 2002.

Let's hear it for Hawaiian slack key music. An indigenous folk style played on acoustic guitar, slack key involves alternate tuning (in which the strings are loosened or "slacked"), to create a lingering resonance behind the plucked melody. Slides, hammer-ons, and harmonics are often involved in slack-key playing, and the result is a sweet, soulful sound that mimics the singing that sometimes accompanies the guitar. This beautiful slack key guitar/vocal combo is showcased on HO'OLOHE, the debut by Martin Pahinui, a prominent figure in the Hawaiian slack key tradition.

Though vocals don't always accompany slack key playing, Pahinui's rich voice, which ranges from mournful to jubilant, and incorporates a very endearing yodel, is the center of HO'OLOHE. Guitarists George Kuo and Bobby Ingano provide the slinky, six-string trickery, while Pahinui's croon evokes a paradise of gorgeous beaches, swaying palm trees, and mist-swept volcano peaks. This is warm, resonant, deeply pleasurable folk music imbued with the unmistakably distinctive flavor of the islands.
