In Hawai'i, the creative impulse usually stems from a pleasurable experience. The concept for Kolonahe came to Keola one afternoon on Maui. I was out in a distant valley sitting under some hau trees enjoying the space, the quiet, when all of the sudden, the most beautiful, refreshing breeze came through. It changed the whole complexion of that day.
Music is like that too.
You can't see the kolonahe , but you can feel its presence. It brings something beautiful into our lives. Full liner notes and song narratives can be found here .
