Gabby Pahinui Hawaii [Import]

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Long before Ry Cooder hooked up with Cuban musicians to such great critical and commercial success, he recorded this album in 1974 in Hawaii with Gabby Pahinui and his band. This version has been repackaged to include the lyrics and a new booklet of notes.

      4 out of 5 stars Gabby Pahinui Vol. 2.......2007-04-04

      I must admit I didn't know of this performer; but found my way to him from a discography of Ry Cooder. I will usually buy anything that Ry has a hand in. Both hands preferably.

      The music from the Hawaiian Islands has always enchanted me; and this CD was a whole lot more than I thought it would be. Ry Cooder playing with him; was why I came to the CD. However now I have purchased 2 Cd's by the great Gabby Pahinui and am a fan.

      Pop's "Brown Album" is the perfect introduction for the non-Hawaiian music fan or Hawaiian music fan alike. In addition to this, the album is THE preeminent introduction to kika kiho'alu. He died too soon, but left we Hawaiians with many things, chief among them an identity.

      5 out of 5 stars Just Plain Outstanding.......2002-12-29

      I first heard Gabby on a trip to Hawaii 25 years ago. Truly, he is one of THE masters of his genre. His music is very soulful. If you are looking to experiment with traditional Hawaiian music (NOT lounge music), pick one of Gabby's CDs...its the real thing.

      5 out of 5 stars No ka oi! One of THE most important Hawaiian albums ever.......2001-11-07

      In the early 70's, Hawaiian records were powerful. Not only was the impact felt in Hawai'i, but among many transplanted Hawaiians who would come home and bring this back to California, Oregon, or Washington. Gabby had already had years of recordings behind him when this album was released in 1971 (in fact the album begins with a brief snippet of his rendition of "Hi'ilawe" taken off of a 78 rpm recording he did in the 40's). While musicians in other genres would have been comfortable in his legacy, Gabby was far from over. Like many of his albums from the 70's, he unites sons and friends for an hour of great music. The playing on this is top notch, and while Pahinui wasn't the perfect singer, he sang like a bluesman and you can feel it in "Hame Pila". It was this version of "Hi'ilawe" that made it a mandatory part of every hula halau, beer party, and baby shower in the 70's. Even as I think of how "Hi'ilawe" segues into "Aloha 'Oe", where Pahinui plays one of the most mournful slide guitar solos ever heard, it makes me want to cry. This is as beautiful as it gets, and there are only two words you can say once he reaches those final notes at the end: hana hou! Known by many simply as "The Brown Album".

      5 out of 5 stars Gabby the Great.......2000-12-19

      I have been listening to Hawaiian music since my stay there in 1978. At that time I had been an afficionado of jazz, blues, classical and owned an extensive collection of "old time country" music and bluegrass. In the old time country category I own an extensive collection of old western swing music, such as Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys. When I heard Gabby Pahinui and the Sons of Hawaii in Maui in '78 I instantly recognized a similar feeling to that of Bob Wills - an easy pedestrian beat with lots of character and commentary. Gabby Pahinui's music remains a constant source of pleasure and enjoyment 22 years later. That's a solid sogn of excellent music - it stands the test of time.

      5 out of 5 stars Sergeant Pepper of Hawaiian recordings.......2000-08-27

      In one word, a masterpiece. Along with the first albums of Olomana and Kalapana, Peter Moon's "Tropical Storm," "The Extraordinary Kui Lee," and the Makaha Sons' "Hoola," This album has to be one of the top 10 collections ever produced by a Hawaiian artist. Very little music produced by today's so-called Hawaiian artists reaches the depth of the "Brown Album." It is a benchmark and a landmark that transcends the fact that only three words on the entire album "Royal Hawaiian Hotel" are sung in English, besides the understatement "That was good" after one track.

An album of good-time Hawaiian luau or party music from the master.

        5 out of 5 stars 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!

        5 out of 5 stars 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.

        5 out of 5 stars More Than Gabby.......2007-05-05

        Though specifically advertised as a Gabby Pahinui recording, this album (originally released on vinyl in 1962) came from The Sons of Hawaii. Of course, the legendary Pahinui was there on slack-key guitar, but also in the studios of Hula Records were Eddie Kamae on uke, David Rogers on steel guitar and Joe Marshall on acoustic bass. From low-key songs to upbeat dance tunes, all done in an intoxicating trad Hawaiian style, this disc is essential listening for anyone who grew up on, misses, or has armchair-travelled to the Islands. Especially haunting is The Sons' take on the traditional song "He'eia," a tune which would indeed become a Gabby trademark.

            After listening to this collection of vocal and instrumental songs, you will know why Gabby is revered by Hawaiians and is the performer that all other hawaiian musicians are measured against. There are many slack key guitarists of equal or better technique, as well as singers with beautiful and soulful renditions; but Gabby has what every maestro must have; the ability to be, not just play, the music. He's got the aloha. Get it while you still can, as this ablum is infectious.
