[BOOK] Nā 'ikena - Daniel Ho
Much more than just a book of sheet music, this collection presents the songs of GRAMMY® winning album ʻikena alongside moʻolelo (stories about the genesis of the songs, with views into the songwriting process) and manaʻo (conversations between songwriters Daniel Ho and Amy Kuʻuleialoha Stillman, on their partnership and the cultural politics of contemporary Hawaiian music).
The definitive collection of songs from the GRAMMY award winning CD 'ikena and its acclaimed follow-up He Nani.
Amy Kuʻuleialoha Stillman is Associate Professor of American Culture at the University of Michigan, director of the Great Lakes Hula Academy, and author of the blog "Hawaiian Music for Listening Pleasure: Recordings, Recommendations & Remarks."
