Ellis’ “Hula O Makee”; hula standards such as “Pua `Ahihi” (a trademark song of the Kahauanu Lake Trio); and several original songs, including one by band member Bobby Moderow (“Spirit of Hawaii”) and another by the award-winning Kumu Hula and multi-Na Hoku Award winner Manu Boyd, who composed “Maunalua He Inoa” specially for them. Long-time fans of their live shows will love the inclusion of fan-favorite “He Is the Only Reason,” with a twist suggested by Producer Dave Tucciarone that adds a whole new dimension to the song – that of Denny Hemingson’s (Tim McGraw and Faith Hill) pedal steel guitar, which gives it a bit of a country gospel feel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nLong time fans and new ones alike will love this latest offering from Bobby Moderow, Jr., Kahi Kaonohi, and Richard Gideon...MAUNALUA!\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cu\u003e14 Tracks:\u003c\/u\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\r\n1.
