CD Reviews: The Throwdowns, Ho'okena, Don Tiki, Na Palapalai Audio
The Throwdowns — Maui-based and marvelous, led by Toronto transplant Erin Smith with Ian Hollingsworth, Kimo Clark and Ola Shaw — have become radio and club darlings with hits like "Kihei Town," a blend of reggae rhythms with Island flavas.

CD Reviews: Fawwaz Jubran, Hapa Folk, Bop Tribal, Jorge G. Camara, MD Audio
Fawwaz Jubran's underlying theme here is love and harmony, peace and happiness. Perhaps being an Arab-American in these uncertain and unsteady times, his mission, through music, is hope and understanding.


CD Reviews: Kiwini Vaitai, Faith Ako, Von Baron, Society of Seven LV
Posted on: June 5, 2009
Kiwini Vaitai has Island and Tongan roots, so he infuses Polynesian flavors and Jawaiian rhythms here. He's blessed with a keen wit and a command of lyrics, so his originals have the heady appeal of kava. The tempos are clearly spot-on for the young in party mode.
