"Auntie Genoa" is best known for her unrivaled falsetto singing. Her clear Hawaiian ha‘iha‘i which is often compared with yodeling, and her trademark ability to hold upper register notes for extended periods of time, have earned her the respect and admiration of audiences here and abroad. A companion album to the popular "Party Hulas," it includes lyrics, translations and explanations about each song. Originally released in 1967, "Luau Hulas" showcases the many talents of "Auntie Genoa" and her band of stellar musicians – Vickie Ii, Pauline Kekahuna, Violet Lilikoi and Benny Rogers. This CD belongs in every collection of Hawaiian music and is a must for students of hula.
