One of Hawaii's greatest pre-World War II bands.
Before the addition of guitarist/vocalist Dave Kaleipua Munson, in late 1927, the band was named the Hanapi Trio but became later the Kalama's Quartet. Although a second steel guitarist, Bob Matsu, joined in 1928, the name was not changed.
The group remained together for a short period. After recording several tunes for OKeh between 1927 and 1931, they completed their recording career with four tracks recorded for Victor in January 1932.
Following the disbanding of the group, Kalama, Nawahine, Munson, and Matsu faded into obscurity.
In the late 1920s and into the early 1930s, Kalama’s Quartet represented a classic Hawaiian sound popular both in the Hawaiian Islands and on the American mainland. The quartet pushed the musical boundaries within the genre, as they experimented with four-part vocal harmonies and two acoustic steel guitars. With the onset of the Great Depression, the desire for a more Americanized sound, and the invention of the electric Hawaiian guitar, classic Hawaiian music lost much of its appeal. This collection includes the quartet’s last known recordings before it disbanded. Liner notes include a brief history of the group.

A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING:
As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.
If for any reason your transaction was NOT SATISFACTORY, pls contact me and I will work something out with you. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A REASON TO GIVE ME A NEGATIVE RATING or a LOW STAR RATING.
Quick note on grading:
The Grade (Excellent to Poor, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately
When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to P), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise.
"EXCEPTIONALLY QUIET" is close to noiseless, like a vinyl pressing.
"VERY QUIET" is an above average quiet record for a given pressing.
"Quiet" is a record that is a great example with some noise.
These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment.
Multiple item shipping: I am happy to combine items for shipment in one parcel.
Records will be packed safely between corrugated cardboard in a sturdy box with plenty of padding for safe shipment.
Shipment is usually Media Mail, unless you request another service. Shipping is at your risk, I will be happy to insure items at your cost.
