Eddie Kamae -- Sons of Hawaiʻi Hawaii Sons

This is the accompanying album to the book Hawaiian Son (see opposite page). The 12 songs on this CD were selected from albums recorded by The Sons of Hawai'i over the years. Together, they represent the music

that has shaped Kamae's 50-year career as a singer, composer, arranger, bandleader and 'ukulele master. Included in the selected songs are compositions written by Queen Lili'uokalani, whose work first inspired Kamae, and a track written by Kamae's spiritual father, the composer Sam Li'a Kalainaina of Waipi'o Valley.
