about

Pua'ena (“Glow Brightly”) is Dennis Kamakahi’s first entirely solo album, and it marks his first recording in over ten years. He also continues to perform, touring throughout Hawai’i and beyond solo, with his son David on ‘ukelele, with The Sons of Hawaii, George Kuo, and others. He is also still composing. His latest interests revolve around the Hawaiian chief Kalama, who traveled through Alaska and the West Coast and eventually settled on the Olympic Peninsula in the village named after him. “Everybody who knows I write always asks the same question, ‘Are you still writing songs.’ Well, I think if you’re a composer, you never stop because every place you go, you meet new people, see new things, and write about what you feel. I’ve written songs about other places, but most of the songs I’ve written are about the love and beauty of Hawai’i and about special people.”
