Album Notes

Na Kahu's first release, Aloha Ke Akua, is a Na Hoku Hanohano Award finalist (Hawaii Music Award) and winner of the Indian Summer Music Award 2005. Produced by Daniel Kikawa as a musical version of his highly regarded book,"Perpetuated in Righteousness", the album was inspired by great times together when those who love Iesu gathered at the beach, a park, or a back yard. "We eat, laugh, kukakuka (talk story), kanikapila (play music), hula and haka. A Sunday party in the country! Here's to the best times we have had, and, they are only a taste of the Sunday (everyday) party in Heaven." Don't miss it! And Don't miss Na Kahu's second CD, "A Call to the Nations."

This CD is produced by Aloha Ke Akua. Aloha Ke Akua Ministries is all about the Love of God. “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine:” Song of Solomon 6:3. As Indigenous people, we need to embrace God as ours, and also know that God embraces us as His. . . just as we are.
Our goal is to provide indigenous people, missionaries and Christians with information, training and materials that show the true nature of Jesus; that his way is not to be a foreign religion that destroys people groups and their cultures, but one that brings people groups and their cultures to their highest fulfillment.
