The other songs are apparently personal favorites done Hawaiian-country style. Redoing a familiar song without losing the impact of the original is rarely done by local recording artists. A country gospel version of Henry Kapono's "Stand in the Light" is his best number. English translations of the Hawaiian lyrics are available from Mountain Apple by calling (800) 882-7088 or (808) 597-1888.īack To My Roots: Danny Estocado (Hana's Own Productions)ĭANNY Estocado calls himself "Maui's Hawaiian Cowboy," lives in Nevada, and recorded his album in Nashville, Tenn., with Sonny Lim on ukulele and slack key guitar. Robert's annotation explains the artistic theme of the album each song involves the duo's roots in hula. A few may catch the kaona, or hidden meaning, in Robert's originals. The brothers' treatment of "Waikiki" is beautiful, but there's more here than retro romantic fantasies. "Destination Paradise" is easily one of the year's best Hawaiian albums.
