Lono has performed for over 20 years on the island of Maui and is well known in his community of musicians and entertainment. After focusing on Island Style music for many years, Lono has returned to his roots in the Hawaiian Culture. His conversations and blessings with Uncle Eddie Kamae, Steve Siegfried of Panini Records encouraged him to move forward with this recording. Old Style is a tribute and a remix of the folk songs performed by the Sons of Hawaii Renaissance & Gabby Recordings produced over 30 years ago. The original artists include Pops Gabby Pahinui, Eddie Kamae, Moe Keale, Joe Marshall and David Rogers. Old Style music is traditional, nahenahe (soft) and easy listening, just as it was when he was a young boy listening to their music. Lono plays all the instruments and sings vocals. He is packaged as a musician, composer, engineer and producer. Song list: Prelude: Boxer...
