Description
The Opihi Pickers Imua Garza, brother Hoku Garza, cousin
Kahele Morales, Kevin Okimoto and Shawn Ishimoto
exploded onto the local music scene following the release in
October of 2001 of their 2nd album, Beginnings. Hits from
the album such as "Old Fashion Touch" and "Victim" soon
became local radio staples, launching the group into the local music mainstream.
Like Beginnings, their new All For You album offers the
listener many songs of optimism, hope and innocence. The
album begins with the exuberant passion of "Meant to Be,"
which includes some of Imuas most charming lyrics, "I smile
when I sleep, Because I think of you, I dream that when you
sleep you are smiling too."
This yearning can also be heard in the playful, "When Eye
Meets Eye," the Paul McCartney/Wings-esqe "Ever Since,"
the whimsical "Destiny" and the smooth groove of the title song.
But there is also innocence lost here. The singers stunned
rejection in "What Did I Do?" is dramatically underscored by
the controlled dynamics of the band. The sad loss expressed
in "Remember When?" is beautifully conveyed by Kevins vocals a song which Kevin says, reminds him of how he felt after losing his beloved mother. In the song "Ill Be Around" has the singer found a lost love or is he in a fantasy obsessing over a complete stranger?
The project ends with two tracks of purpose. The beautiful
instrumental "Cristoforis Dream" was a piece of music taught to Imua on the piano by one of his closest friends. It was important to Imua to include this piece of music as a
remembrance for his lost friend. "One of Seven" began
as a poem written by Hoku, Imua and Kahales Aunty Monica
for her brother Wayne, a retired Honolulu police officer,
stricken with terminal cancer. Imua was given the heartfelt
poem and brought it to the studio where he set music to it.
It was performed at Uncle Waynes funeral just a few weeks
later. The version of "One of Seven" heard on All For
You is the original demo recorded for the project. It didnt
feel right to change it.
