"Respected by his peers and revered by a younger generation, Kahauanu Lake, with his sophisticated style of music was a front runner in Hawaiian music during the Statehood Years (1950s -1960s) and a forefather of the music of the Hawaiian Renaissance (1970s - 1980s). Today the Trio's music remains as an inspirational conduit to young artists striving for excellence in the arts of Hawaiian dance and music. The classic music of the hula ku‘i (interpretive hula) is documented on this recording; supplemented by updated liner notes by Jean Sullivan, including Hawaiian lyrics and English translations. 'He Aloha No ‘O Honolulu' is a valuable link to our past that continues to inspire us as we move into the future." – Michael Pili Pang, Kumu Hula (Hula Master) Halau Hula Ka No‘eau.
