I am fortunate that I live in California, close enough to have my wife begin to dance in Mark's halau. He is amazing. His talents run far beyond what you hear on this CD. Lucky for you, you can hear him too, because it is available for you to buy, right now. I imagine if you are reading this, you are looking for a good CD. You have found it. It is a CD that once you get it and hear it, it will grow on you and you will not want your car and home to be without one. Honest, I need to replace my copy (my wife and I have our own so no fighting). Mine is pretty worn out. Reviews, I don't do them. But this time, I'm making an exception for an exceptional CD.Question? what makes it so good? That's like asking what makes ice cream so good? All it's ingredients mixed to the right recipe. Mark's talents, skill, and soul are the ingredients; his ideas and visions are the recipe, and yes, you are right, the CD is like ice cream for the ear and connects to the soul.
Question? what are Mark's talents? Again, I am fortunate enough to also see them and hear them beyond the CD, but the music he creates is raw, real, and it hits you in a place you normally aren't familiar with music taking you, it's refreshing, and addictive.
Okay, enough, you get the point....so, check it out!
Free Music Review: Stunningly beautiful!

I bought this many years ago during a trip to Hawai'i. I was hoping to find traditional chants unlike the lua hula. This was it. Mark Ho'omalu's voice is strong and even though I don't speak Hawai'ian, this music still calls to me. If you don't know what traditional Hawai'ian chants sound like, go to youtube and search "Kahiko Hula". That'll give you a good idea. Po'okela Chants is plain, it's simple, it's intricate, it's beautiful, and it's haunting. But note, if you're expecting ukeleles, you won't find them here.Free Music Review: Fabulous

Mark's chants are . . . enchanting! I love Hawaii; hubby was stationed there in the Navy in '76 and I moved there and we got married in '77. Not that used to chants, but they are really, really great. You may want to dance because of the rhythm! He Mele No Ka'uhinele will make you smile every time you hear it! If you like Hawaiian music, you'll love this!Free Music Review: Timeless Chants of Hawaii

Po'okela Chants is traditional Hawaiian music. No slack guitars here. Just the human voice and a native drum. One track includes multi-tracking and backup instruments, but is pretty in it's own right. I first heard this artist in Disney's Lilo and Stitch, and it made me want to hear more of him. With this CD, I got what I wanted.Free Music Review: Mahalo, Mark!

Kumu Mark Ho'omalu is some kind of creative genius of Hawaiian music and a performer so brilliant that, even though my husband and I don't understand Hawaiian, we are totally riveted by his chants. This is one of our favorite albums of any genre. I play it nearly every day, and it is always fresh and exciting.
