A'oia
Johnny Almeida

Johnny Almeida, one of the most highly regarded Hawaiian composers of all 
time, composed this song which speaks of how a lover has finally gotten 
his sweetheart.  This song was most recently recorded by the group Island 
Rhythms on their first CD "We Are One."  I got these lyrics out of a 
music book from my college Hawaiian language class.  The chords were 
provided from one of my guitar teachers.
