Editor's note

Na Leo Pilimehana's gentle Hawaiian family harmonies

Four siblings from Hawai'i who blend traditional sounds with contemporary arrangements.

For their sound, try 'Candle In The Night' first. 'Simple As A Sunrise' gives you their gentler side.

They've been singing together since the early 1990s, starting at local gatherings before their 1995 debut. Songs like 'Candle In The Night' and 'Local Boys' became familiar voices in Hawaiian homes, even as some questioned their mix of traditional and Western influences. Their music keeps returning to Hawaiian themes, whether in 'I Miss You, My Hawaii' or the more recent 'Flying With Angels'.

They began performing together in the early 1990s, releasing their first album in 1995. Albums like 'Anuenue' in 1997 and 'E Walea' in 2000 followed, then 'Meleana' in 2003 and 'Ikena' in 2006. They've kept recording through the 2010s with albums like 'Elua' in 2010.
