Get this before you go to Hawaii - Then play it in your rental car!, 2007-05-14
The Makaha Sons of Ni'ihau play real Hawaiian music that is soft and peaceful and happy. When you get back home it is a way to keep the loving feeling of Hawaii with you all the time. br / br /Jonathan Galente

Great, 2007-02-06
This is really good traditional Hawai'ian music without the syrupy production that a lot of the newer stuff seems to have. Beautiful.

If you only buy one Hawaiian album for your collection this is the one you should get. IT is perfect. The harmonies are beautiful and the songs are classic. There's not a bad song on the album.

The real thing, 2005-08-25
This is the real thing. br /Hawaiian singing and playing by a terrific group. br /The religious nature of some of the songs was a surprise but not a bad one. br /It's a great portrait of Braddah Iz as a young singer and within an ensemble. br / br /I love it.

Important compilation by a simple group of country kids, 2001-11-07
When the Makaha Sons of Ni'ihau came out with their first few albums on Poki, no one was prepared for the impact they would eventually create. Those albums are (unfortunately, c'mon Lea!) out of print, but NA MELE HENOHENO gathers some of the best songs from the three. Some of you might be coming into this due to the vocals of the late Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. For many, it is these recordings that will stand the test of time, as he was young and had a soul that was untouched. Much of that came through with the help of his brother, Skippy, and together their harmonies were unbeatable. There was a spirit in the air in the mid 70's, with the Hawaiian renaissance, and this only helped strengthen everything.
