In November of 1979, Territorial Airwaves was still in its first 6 months of life.
The group, Hui Ohana, featuring Ledward & Nedward Ka’apana, with Dennis Pavao, had disbanded. Ledward had recorded “I Kona” with Na Leo Kani O Punahele.
Then with Bill Murata’s “Pumehana Records”, Ledward rejoined his fraternal twin brother, Nedward, for a project with Bernard Kamala.
Since the
Ka’apana’s were from the Big Island of Hawaii, while Bernard was born in Pu’uwai, Ni’ihau, the album was titled, “Ni’ihau – Hawaii”.
Today, nearly 40 years later, we’ll share memorable selections from this groundbreaking release !
