A True Hawaiian

On March 8, 1977 the brief life of activist/musician George Helm was claimed by the seas between Kahoʻolawe and Maui.

He may be gone, but George Helm will never be forgotten. In his wake remains the remarkable legacy of song and inspiration from this truly dedicated Hawaiian.

This historic recording takes you back to a 1976 performance, where you will enjoy his soaring leo ki`iki`e (falsetto voice), his song introductions, his “Molokaʻi stroke” guitar playing, and his cutting-edge interpretation of Hawaiʻi's music.
