Kupu
A'e (March, 2009)
Artist:
The
De Lima Ohana
Ohana is the Hawaiian word for family. The De Limas and their extended family have a musical legacy that goes back generations, but for now, we'll start with just the members of this group.
"The
De Lima Ohana" debut CD titled, "Kupu a'e" represents a new unfurling fern frond and symbolizes new life, growth, strength and peace, a metaphor that describes this family.
This
CD celebrates the essence of popular Hawaiian music. From Don Ho's classic, "I'll remember you" to Elvis Presley's famous, "Hawaiian Wedding Song" all performed by the De Lima Ohana. It's our hope that when you listen to this
CD you can feel the aloha of the Hawaiian Islands and hear the joy and the love that our family shares through this music.
We handpicked these songs because they were the most requested and loved by local fans and tourists who came to our performances. We pay tribute to our mentors and our idols as we dedicate "I'll Remember You" to the late, great Don Ho: You will always be "Mr. Waikiki" to us and Waikiki will never be the same without you. Kelly will always remember your generosity when you shared your stage with him as a young musician.
To Aunty Genoa Keawe, we dedicate "Alika" as we remember your kind and encouraging words to Kalena and Lilo at stage side while on break at the Waikiki Marriott.
Our last dedication, "Aloha Tears", is to Jerry Byrd who said "With every chord on the steel guitar comes a story" -- We will truly miss you and your stories.
The songs on this CD are very dear to our hearts. We only hope that you can hear the joy and the love that our family shares in this Hawaiian music.
From our family to yours - Aloha,
The De Lima Ohana
