"Cherish is the word I use to describe,
All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside…”

Few artists forged a sound as uniquely smooth as that of The Association. This band built a rich, silky sound around their vocal harmonies that infused a series of memorable hits in the late 60’s." ~Group bio

"Kumu Hula (hula teacher) for 20 years, worked at Pûnana Leo O Maui (Hawaiian language pre-school) and at the Bailey House Museum as director, and taught language and culture classes at Maui Community College and the University of Hawai`i. The release of "Kawaipunahele" in 1994 was motivated by a desire to increase understanding of the poetry of the language and provide new material for hula students." ~Source

This site has many links to this monster retailer due to its informative editorial and customer reviews, as well as extensive sound clips. But you know and we know that this is one big `ulua in the music industry. And the smaller pâpio in the sea --the "Mom & Pop" stores on the Internet-- offer personalized service, good prices and lots of Aloha; nothing against the big fish, but the small fish really could use our support. Get my drift?

We do not receive any financial compensation in listing these retailers. Be an akamai (savvy) comparison-shopper, remembering price isn't everything. Service and fair prices are the key to consumer satisfaction. Aloha is the biggest factor.
