Pulama

Hi'ipoi

Pulama’s 2013 CD, Hi`ipoi, presents some of Hawaii’s favorite classic songs, arranged with artistry and performed with aloha.  This duo’s distinctive, intimate, full, rich vocal sound, combined with scintillating slack key guitar, is both soothing and energizing.  Hi`ipoi can be added to your playlist and enjoyed anytime.

The Song Within The Song

This beautiful debut CD sparkles with the aloha these two musicians have for their listeners, each other, and the islands and music of Hawai`i.  Close, pure vocal harmonies combine with scintillating slack-key guitar on traditional and modern Hawaiian songs, with a few hapa-haole numbers and original compositions added to the mix.
