NEW BEGINNING...NEW WORLD...NEW PARADIGM...

A new beginning for a new time. And a new paradigm. This music that has come through my hands, voice, and guitar, I feel must be released to the many who will benefit from it, now. So, I am offering much of my music for FREE, including all of the Manu MP3s and now, For the Love of Hawai'i MP3s!

And you now may download any and all the music you like, for free, and also choose the "feel good" option of donating to Let Your Joy Shine, knowing that your donation helps keep the music (and the joy!) coming.

Also all CDs prices have been reduced, from $12 to $10 (with only a very small shipping charge). And it costs even less per CD when you buy more...And one more thing...

---- A New CD has Emerged...MANU (Birds of Kilauea)! ----

"MANU, Na Manu o Kilauea (Birds of Kilauea), A Meditative Journey with Pele's Birds at Kilauea". This CD brings the Spirit of Pele into your life. Recorded at the edge of Kilauea caldera in Volcanoes National Park, and incorporating the harmonies of slack key guitar, the pan flute, and the birds (Manu) of Kilauea, this gentle music brings peace to the hurried mind and soothes the soul.

Kauwila...Hawaiian Vocalist & Slack Key Entertainer!

Kauwila is one of the most well-known and approachable slack key artists in Kailua Kona. He learned to play slack-key guitar on the Wai'anae coast of O'ahu by listening to CDs and watching other slack key guitarists. He developed his current ki ho'alu style after moving to Kona in 1999. Inspired by such slack-key masters as Raymond Kane, Sonny Chillingworth, and John Keawe, his slack-key style mirrors the rhythms of old Hawai'i. When he plays slack-key and sings Hawaiian music, you hear the Spirit of the islands play and sing through him.

Kauwila possesses an astounding, powerful voice and a command of Hawaiian vocals. His soothing slack-key style flows perfectly with the melodies of Hawaiian music. He enjoys sharing the music of Hawai'i with all who listen. He shares the history and techniques of slack key guitar, and brings the spirit of aloha to everyone he meets. Kauwila has recorded four CDs. He performs regularly for weddings, parties, dinners, and other events on the Kona coast, and plays weekly in downtown Kona and Keauhou.
