Maunahele (Download)
Album - Digital Download
Leokāne made his debut into the Hawaiian music world in 1999 with the success of his debut CD release Maunahele, which received wide radio play in Hawai`i, the mainland and internationally. The album is a wonderful mix of traditional Hawaiian and hapa haole classics as well as contemporary Hawaiian originals- including the title song “Maunahele” composed by Leokāne. Maunahele also showcases Leokāne’s angelic falsetto – especially his rendition of the classic Kīpahulu, a song very dear to him as he has family from Kīpahulu going back several generations. Leokāne’s close friend Puna Keli`iho`omalu lends his gorgeous voice to several songs, and Erik Rader’s melancholy guitar makes hearts weep.
