Kōī Au by Makana
Shattering the stereotypical perception of present day Hawai’i Nei, this multi-cultural musical adventure explores where no other Hawaiian album has before. Spanning Chinese, Jazz, Indonesian, Indian, Bluegrass, Hawaiian, Classical, Portuguese, African and Mambo, Koi Au is a “landmark musical statement” (Star Bulletin, 2002) that expresses the true musical diversity of Makana in the exotic context of Hawaiian slack key.
