Editorial Reviews
The Label
Another milestone album by Gabby Pahinui, first released in 1973, during the Hawaiian music renaissance. The album features Gabby with his four sons as well as his good friends, slack-key guitar masters Leland "Atta" Isaacs and Sonny Chillingworth. Wonderful arrangements featuring the Hawaiian slack-key guitar and vocals that Gabby is famous for. Good time Hawaiian party/luau music at it's very best.

Customer Reviews:

Lovely stuff... the start of modern Hawaiian pop.......2002-11-13

Celebrated as one of the great modernizers of Hawaiian music, slide master Gabby Pahinui stretched the "traditional" sound of the Hawaiian slack key style out into a more relaxed, expansive sound, luxuriant and laid-back, as well as the perfect showcase for his dazzling guitar work. The title of this album is kind of an in-joke; Rabbit Island is a protected wildlife sanctuary, so the "festival" heard on this disc is actually a set of 'ewa'ewa (Hawaiian terns), recorded on the rocky island (the human music was actually recorded in the Sounds Of Hawaii studios, in Honolulu...) This is a lovely album, sort of a bridge between the older island styles that Pahinui grew up on and and the modern sound that he pioneered. Joining him here are the extended Pahinui clan (many of whom have gone onto lengthy careers of their own), and guitarist Sonny Chillingsworth, who is also still a powerful force in island music. Really sweet stuff; definitely worth picking up!

Pahinui, the ohana and his friends gather for good times.......2001-11-07

Just looking at the cover sends chills down my spine. Back when every Hawaiian album seemed to become an instant classic, Gabby Pahinui asked his family and friends (Atta Issacs and Sonny Chillingworth) to record and jam on some Hawaiian music. They do this for almost an hour. The record cover comes to life in the intro and outro, as you hear the guys perform live in front of an audience of birds on Rabbit Island.
