cyril pahinui, the son of the late slack key guitar legend gabby pahinui, is one of the finest slack key guitarists in the world! on the album, issued by george winston's "dancing cat records," pahinui demonstrates some of the most unbelievable guitar playing i've ever heard!

i had the great fortune of seeing him in concert and spoke briefly with him afterwards. a gentle warrior, pahinui truly exhudes the spirit of aloha in his skillful playing and soothing voice --not a dry eye in the house!

if you're looking for gentle music to take you away to a tropical isle, consider pahinui's albums. this is a wonderful introduction to the fine art of hawaiian slack key guitar. this is a cd that is in constant rotation on my player--and one that i listen to almost every night upon returning from work in order to relax and let go of the tensions of the day...
