DescriptionThese elements--the great film songs from the exotic islands, the romance of the surf, and the quartet of young Hawaiians who are as modern as today when it comes to their music--add up to an album for the young-at-heart. The chronology of music reaches from the now-classic "Sweet Leilani" to the hits of today, from such modern films as Mutiny on the Bounty, which received a dual tribute in this album. But the accent on the music is strictly modern. The Surfers (Clayton Naluai, Alan Kalani, Pat Sylva, and Bernie Ching) believe that the music of the islands is a growing music, and that it must advance with the times. They sing that way, blending their voices "in modern," following the time-honored prerogative of youth: to make every part of its world, including its music, modern and meaningful.
