about

Bla Pahinui’s soulful voice and guitar shine through on this classic live solo performance from August 17, 1986. The second oldest son of legendary Slack Key master Gabby Pahinui, Bla is both deeply rooted in tradition and distinctively original. Whether singing older standards or more recent originals, whether enjoying a good laugh or dropping tears, he remains one of Hawaiian music’s true individualists.
