Both Sam Makia and Hal Aloma are artists on this LPs and "Hula Cha" (aka Hawaiian War Chant Cha Cha Cha) is absolutely killer. You MUST get this LP if you ever see it! Indonesia/Holland's Rudy Wairata played steel guitar for many years with the Kilima Hawaiians and also had successful groups of his own. Here's a Dutch LP with tracks such as "When We Do The Hula-Hula Beat","Swinging Steel Guitar","A Ship Is Sailing","Farewell To Samoa", etc. However, I particularly am drawn to the fetching outfits worn by the band members. These people know how to have a luau even if it is in a brick garden....extra bonus points for the accordian muumuu. Another rare Wairata offering..."Stereo Cruise." This LP is unusul in that it features Wairata instrumentally on steel playing selections backed by a full orchestra..."Hibiscus","Love Song Of The Tropics","Moon Dream", and others. I'm ready for my shipboard mai tai.
