Free Music Review: Island Beauty & Serenity
Hit: 5 Stars
As others have mentioned, the gentle loveliness of Kamakahi's music truly restores the soul. Even my baby niece loves it. Best calming bath-time music ever. This all-ages album by a master Hawaiian slack-key guitar musician and composer just overflows with love. (Forget all preconceptions of hokey Hawaiian music, and listen to the samples. This is NOTHING like that other stuff.) People have said it helped heal them when they were suffering physical or psychic trauma. I just find that its beauty lets me see the world as a better place.
It wasn't until I started listening to other Hawaiian slack key musicians, including a number who are respected virtuosos, that I realized what a unique achievement 'Ohana is. Kamakahi has the musicianship to step out of what is customary and strip the constant background strumming and embellishment on top of embellishment that often muddy the beautiful old songs. His playing gives the loveliness and dignity the songs, old and new, deserve. To clarify, he does use embellishment, but only exactly where it works. That is not a minor achievement, and I'm sure it took a lifetime to gain such mastery that to some it sounds easy. It's like Picasso creating a masterful sketch with just a few, perfectly placed lines.
It makes me deeply grateful that all I need do is listen.
