audio with some pictures. "Old Hawaiian Love Songs" - Alfred Apaka with the Hawaiin Village Serenaders "Humming Waters" - Alfred Apaka with Danny Stewart's Hawaiians The legendary Alfred Apaka, already hugely popular in Hawaii, was getting ready to make a big splash on nationwide TV in America just before he died at a tragically young age in 1960. His beautiful smooth baritone earned him the name "The Golden Voice of Hawaii". He presents perhaps the finest example of hapa-haole music. George Kanahele, in "Hawaiian Music and Musicians" writes that Apaka was: "possessor of the one of the most remarkable voices to come out of Hawaii. A natural untrained voice, it was strong, masculine and agile -- a delicate instrument that could range from B flat to E in pianissimo ... Apaka's stature has continued to grow and, thanks to his devoted fans who still pay homage to his memory, it has assumed legendary dimensions." Here is the Alfred Apaka entry at find-a-grave: www.findagrave.com He was a frequent guest onthe popular radio show "Hawaii Calls". Henry Kaiser built a special performance venue ("the Tapa Room") for him at the Hawaiian Village, where a statue stands today commemorating this superb performer. His influence reaches Hawaiian singers to this day, mainly due to kids growing up with parents and grandparents playing his records. recordings from the LP "Alfred Apaka sings The Hawaiian Wedding Song" (Decca LP DL74571) picture of this album included go to this video to hear .... + Informações

NA MOLOKAMA by Alfred Apaka Fine Hawaiian music on Bell Records 78 rpm record c. 1946-1950. This label was very picky about the artists it recorded and the way the songs were played. Had to represent fine Hawaiian style music or it didn't make it. This is no exception. Previously in my collection of records, I had a few very worn Bell Records. I recently acquired a small collection of pristine condition Bell Records with some great artists and songs, including Bill Lincoln, George Ka'inapau, Napua Stevens, and even Alfred Apaka. I'll try to get them all posted soon. Enjoy!. + Informações
