Description
Aloha!
From the time Iopa Maunakea and his band Bruddah Kuz burst
onto the Hawaiian music scene in 2000 with their debut CD "
Talkin Da Kine" things have been anything but quiet for this
"Original Island Music" band from the Puna district of Hawaii's Big Island.
By now if you don't know who Bruddah Kuz is, you must be
living in a lava tube somewhere under the volcano.
Named the Big Island's favorite band in the Hawaii Island
Journal's "Best Of" in 2001. Their music has taken them from
playing backyard luau's and community events to Aloha
Festivals in Phoenix AZ. and San Francisco CA. with audiences of 10,000 or more!
Songs from their CD have become favorites on local Hawaiian
Radio and can also be heard as far away as Las Vegas, Alaska and internet stations worldwide.
So popular was the title track "Talkin Da Kine" with listeners of
the "Aloha Joe" Internet radio show, this "most requested"
track was included on a Cord International compilation
"A Place Called Hawaii" receiving a Hawaii Music Award in
2003.
Recently Bruddah Kuz has been licensed with DMX
Music, the CD can now be enjoyed by travelers
in the airport and on Aloha Airlines flights.
Lately Iopa has been working on new material and is part
of an exciting project "We Are Ohana, songs of Hope",
Hawaii Island performing artists share their talents to address
the issue of substance abuse and addiction. The Cd features
original songs beautifully performed by various Hawaiian
artists in a variety of styles
Bruddah Kuz performs this hard edged reggae song
"Hawaiian Soljah" which Iopa wrote for his brother who is
currently battling with substance abuse.
The music is part of a project aimed at drug education through
music in schools throughout Hawaii. Watch for it's release
Mahalo for supporting our music!
