About 10-12 years ago we would sit in a restaurant called the "El Crab Catcher" on Kaanapali Beach (Where "Hula Grill" now is) and listen to a Two Man group called "Hapa". It was one Haole and one Local Boy. They played there about every night, and we were sooo sick of listening to them, when they won a handfull of Na Hokuhanohano Awards (Hawaiian Grammies). Then they started playing larger venues and charging money to see them. I think they put out a few well received albums before splitting up.

If you're interested in a Hawaiian Album I'd recommend Kelii Reichel's "Kawaipunahele". It's Hawaii's all time number one selling album for a good reason. (check out who did the graphics) I know it's available at tropicaldisc.com
