专辑简介

One of Hilo's best kept secrets is slack-key master Ben Kaili, who's played the local music circuit for over 30 years. In 2009 he released his first instrumental album titled "Kaowahi", which was nominated for a Na Hoku Hanohano award for best slack-key album. Since then, not only has he become one of Hawaiian music's busiest musicians, but he's also toured extensively abroad and firmly established himself as a solid headliner in Japan and on the west coast USA.

In 2013, under the guidance of producer/engineer Rob Yamanoha, Ben signed as an artist with Red Moon Entertainment and released his sophomore album titled "Huanani". The new project features both Ben's signature slack-key guitar stylings and his beautifully rich baritone voice. "Huanani" is a culmination of years of gig experience, vocal and guitar mastery, and is reminicent of days of old Hawaii, with images of palm trees, lu'aus, and swaying hula dancers.
