Hula Records presents "Kamakele," the first solo effort by "Bulla" Kailiwai, 1997 winner of the Aloha Festival's Clyde "Kindy" Sproat Storytelling and Falsetto Singing Contest held each year on the Big Island. A well known Kona hula dancer, "Bulla" is fast becoming known as a singer and songwriter. "Kamakele" showcases his beautiful falsetto voice as he performs his own compositions along side old favorites and previously unrecorded songs by former Miss Aloha Hula, Kealoha`aina Simeona. "Bulla" is backed by some of our state's finest musicians: Matt Manewa and Dwight Kanae (guitars), Kehau Tamure (upright bass), "Baba" Alimoot (electric bass), Greg Sardinha (steel guitar), Michael Lowe and slack-key master, Raymond Kane (slack-key guitars).
