The Kalima Brothers rambunctious “1,000 Pounds of Melody” sound featured solid multi-part harmonies, embellished with intricate ‘ukulele, piano, and steel guitar solos, and was propelled by a rollicking “Katchi-katchi” danceable beat.
The group included Jesse Kalima on ‘ukulele, Albert Kalima on bass, Willard “Honey” Kalima on guitar, Daniel “Junior Kalima” Kaho’opi’i on Maraccas & vocals, Julian Gasper on Steel Guitar, and Richard Kauhi on piano.
Today, we’ll celebrate the re-release of the Cord International Compact Disc featuring their 1946 Bell Records recordings.
