Vaihi CD discography Vaihi, Puko'a Kani 'Aina (Moon Surfer Records MS 9004) This vocal offering is a treat. Lots of harmony, a la Ho'okena, with enough originality to keep you guessing. "La'ie" starts off with a chant, as a number of songs do these days; however, it's a particularly effective one. "Kolohe Time" is a rascally song with each singer taking ...

Vaihi albums Vaihi's third album is an impressive experiment considering the unwritten rules of the contemporary island music scene. Vaihi's album contains no Jawaiian stuff and no Top 40 pop chart remakes. Every song is fresh. Several were written by member Sam Longi, whose high profile as a member of the FM100 All-Star Band and co-host of "Local Kine Grindz" ...

"Nave Nave" by Vaihi; Vaihi Entertainment Genre: Hawaiian seasoned with TahitianDistinguishing notes: Vaihi - Aaron Kaonohi, Bruce Naluai, Peter "Piko" Lakatani and Sam Langi Jr. - weds two Polynesian cultures because of fan demands in California, Japan and Tahiti. Some of the music seems improv - that is, loose, fun, casual - with hearty-party spirit. The opening cut of "Nave Nave" (which means "pleasing" in Tahitian) is "Laelae Medley," robust and rich in vocal and instrumental dexterity, and sounding almost like a tribute to The Brothers Cazimero, with its lively and impromptu flavor in marrying three titles: "Nani Ka'ala," "Wai O Ke Aniani" and "Pauoa Ka Liko Lehua."
