E Nipo Mai

Komakakino is a traditional Hawaiian quartet based in Keaukaha, Hilo, Hawai‘i. Members of this group are Koma Wana, Namaka DeMello, Kinohi Neves, and Christian Wadlington.

These young men excel at a wide variety of vocal styles including harmony in the falsetto style unique to Hawai‘i. Each of “The Boys”, as they are affectionately called, are able to alternate on the ʻukulele, guitar and stand-up bass with ease and confidence.

This is their second CD and consists of eight original haku mele compositions by Komakakino and Kumu Hula Paul K. Neves. In addition, four traditional Hawaiian musical pieces are included and have their unique arrangement signature.
