No party in Hawai`i really begins until the music begins... and it really gets going only when someone starts dancing hula. Here are 12 hula classics performed for you by 5 of Hawai`i’s best-loved musicians. Violet Pahu Liiko‘i, Vickie I‘i Rodrigues, Pauline Kekahuna and Benny Rogers provide the hula tunes and the one and only Genoa Keawe, "Hawai‘i's First Lady of Song" sings lead vocals. You provide the hula moves and the ono kau kau (delicious food) for an instant party - Hawaiian style! Original (1965) liner notes by Jean Sullivan include song lyrics, translations, "Notes for the Dancer" and biographical information. The top selling album that should be part of every Hawaiian music collection, was re-released on compact disc in 2002.
