about

James Daniel “Bla” Pahinui is the second oldest son of Hawaiian music and Slack Key legend Gabby Pahinui. A founding member of the band The Sunday Manoa, The Gabby Band and The Pahinui Brothers, Bla proudly perpetuates his family’s heartfelt commitment to deep Hawaiian music. On Mana, his first solo effort, Bla performs original instrumentals, his deeply soulful interpretations of Hawaiian standards, and his other passion, ballads from the Rock ‘n’ Roll era of the 1950s and the 1960s.
