Ho'oike ine. Caringfor the Spiritual and Physical Health of our Nation

This is the most innovative spiritually creative sound since the "Big Bang." The production qualities, original sound, music, chants and graphics are par excellence. Particularly innovative is the way the artist nests the traditional O'ono chants within the more modern musical compositions and poetry to give them context and deepen the listener's understanding of who and what, we really are. It is a "new age" presentation of an ancient sound that urges all of us to breathe and verbalize with proper intent. The main objective of this meditative CD is to counterpunch violence and disarm rage by chanting and breathing love into this world. Ho'oike Kupuna (Elders) realize our nation and the world are in dire need of a spiritual awakening free of religious dogma. These little delicious repetitive O'ono chants are meant to awaken and clear the core of our "being" and connect us to our ancestors and Aumakua Mauloa (Etemal Parent), God by all names. Chanting allows us to retum to our true selves to practice "Oia I'o" (personal truths) of "Living Aloha and Living Love." It is time to return to our roots; to the peaceful harmonious system that existed prior to the Na Ali'i., Captain Cook, and the Missionaries. Back to the time when everyone was an equal part of the whole and recognized the true prize in life was communicating with Aumakua Mauloa on a "one to one" basis. To achieve this spiritual, healthy and blissful state, breathe and chant with proper loving intent. The vibration of chanting revitalizes the intemal organs, calms the mind, alleviates stress, lowers blood pressure, and generates a feeling of euphoria. It is the secret to the ready smile and happy personality of Kanaka Maoli (Indigenous people of Hawaii). The cause of all ugliness and illness starts with internal frowning easily identified by a sour personality so "No get sour" Chant ! Wayne Harada: "Kahn and Graue lead a journey of word and sound, instmcting the listener to breathe in, breathe out, meditate and even oli, for a mellow mental cleansing. Think workout CD for the soul."
