Raiatea Helm's discussing the intention of her new release, "A Legacy of Hawaiian Song & String, Volume One".

From the Liner Notes by N. Haʻalilio Solomon:

Hoʻolaʻilaʻi nā manu i ke kāhuli leo leʻa o uka o Hoʻolehua –– The birds are stilled in repose by the voice of the kāhuli shell of the uplands of Hoʻolehua

Let us pause a moment to recognize the singularity of this album, exceptional in all senses of the word. It is remarkably rare that we are offered a musical contribution of such pristine vocals, superb poetry, and impeccable musicianship. The outcome is arresting, it is exquisite.
