Ho'okena's CD "Cool Elevation" is sure to take this talented quartet to new and greater heights. 7 of the 13 cuts are original compositions, written and arranged by Manu Boyd and Horace K. Dudoit III, and several reflect the beauty and elegance of Nu'uanu ("cool elevation"). Multiple "No Hoku Hanohano Award" winners, Ho'okena celebrates 17 years as a renaissance Hawaiian group of today, and they share their love for their homeland, culture and people through their harmonious and exhilarating music.
