Call It What You Like

Mark Keali'i Ho'omalu has a voice that transcends, and since his mission is to take a dying tradition and continue it, with his modern influences, he is a true transcendent artist -- able to reach the heart, mind and senses. I recommend catching PBS's Point of View (P.O.V) episode on hula, which features Keali'i Ho'omalu's work: American Aloha: Hula Beyond Hawaii.

I fell in love with Mark Ho'omalu's voice when I saw him and his halau in a documentery "Amarican Aloha" his music is truly intrancing and, being a hula dancer myself I would love to dance to his music. I recomnend Halepi'owai, Wai'oli, Ka Wohi Ku I Ka Moku and Ku Ka 'Oli'oli I Na Moku.

Okay, im part hawaiian. Dont ask why i said that but this is sooooo cool. Its jsut so nice and its completely different. Not much people around the world listen to this kind of music...besides hawaiian people probably but htere are many other people. I just found out about this guy. He is pretty good. I love this music!!! (i love because its good and because its hawaiian and of course im part hawaiian :P)

After really finding about Mark Ho'omalu through Disney's Lilo and Stitch, i was immediatley entranced by his voice and his amazing chanting ability. After hearing this album i have little doubt of his capabilites. This album is steeped in traditional Hawaiian chants and culture and Mark portrays it in a way that will give you goosebumps and have you hanging on every word. This album is a must have for everyone who appreciates the beauty of Hawaiian culture and tradition.

This album is fantastic -- it's too bad you can't have it. There is nothing like hearing the soul of oli reincarnated in the locomotive pa'i and gut-filled i'i of an edgy kumu. Hoomalu's style is a perfect vehicle for the echo of an ancient rhythm. The Apple store has missed many, many sales by not having it available for purchase but only as a tease to customers. Auwe no ho'i e!
