KEALE RELEASES NEW SOLO CD "KAWELONA"

The long awaited second solo CD release from Keale, entitled "Kawelona," is now available. The CD features 16 tracks that honor the West side of O'ahu. Nine tracks are Hawaiian or part-Hawaiian and five cover such hits as "Waimanalo Blues" (called 'Nalu Blues' for the westside beaches). The name of the CD is a Ni'ihau expression for the shimmering of the setting sun. Appropriately it follows Keale's first CD release, "Kahikina," or sunrise. Eleven of the tracks are original songs and the CD features the talents of many successful artists including Kawika Kahiapo and Don Kaulia, Bill Griffin & Leslie Kline of the bluegrass band Saloon Pilots, the Keiki Kula o Ni'ihau as well as Keale's own daughter Emma and the daughters of Kaukahi member Dean Wilhelm.

"Kawelona" is available in stores and on iTunes now.
