"Hawaii's Favorites, Vol. 1 – from yesterday and today" is a collection of traditional Hawaiian and hapa-haole tunes, chosen for their popularity with locals and tourists alike. We asked Mathew Koenig, 30-year veteran music retailer and former Retail Director of Hawai'i's Tower Records outlets, to pick some of his favorite, and best-selling Hawaiian songs. He did, and the result is this CD containing performances by some of Hawai‘i's stellar artists – Don Ho, Alfred Apaka, Nina Keali‘iwahamana, Genoa Keawe, The Kahauanu Lake Trio, Kawai Cockett, and Nathan Aweau, among them.
