I found myself really liking Makalei's album from last year. There are some cheeseball tunes on it, but also some really gorgeous charmers. Doesn't hurt that you can listen to it all online.

Re: Makalei

I liked it as well - it made my "top ten" list for our Hawaiian radio show last year.

Re: Makalei

Ooo, what else was in your top ten? My sources of good new Island music are pretty indirect these days.
