Ever since its 1975 debut, Kalapana’s sound has been difficult to define. Originally produced by Barry Alan Fasman (Jose Feliciano, Diana Ross, Dusty Springfield), their debut LP presented a style uniquely its own: the sound of a contemporary Hawaii. Is it rock? Pop? R\u0026amp;B? And yet there’s jazz, soul, and groove embedded into these eleven songs: a sound that remains relevant to Hawaii and its people to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eFronted by songwriters Mackey Feary and Malani Bilyeu, with guitarist DJ Pratt and keyboardist Kirk Thompson (the producer behind Lemuria), Kalapana propelled to fame at a time when Hawaii was defining its modern identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eWhile their popularity is primarily concentrated in Hawaii, the Philippines, and Japan, Kalapana is poised to recapture the imaginations of listeners today, as both a rediscovery process for young listeners whose parents played their OG copies to pieces, and as a new musical discovery for people around the world who’ve yet to hear Kalapana’s songs.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe perfect slice of pop paradise from Hawaii.
