Linda Dela Cruz

Item code: HOCD 77000

Linda Dela Cruz - Hawaii's Canary. This 23 selection compact disc of restored vintage Hawaiian music traces the life work of Linda Dela Cruz, "Hawaii's Canary". Her incomparable presentation struck a precarious balance between strength and fragility. As quickly as Linda could unleash a stormy, bluesy power, she could also caress with a gentle and subtle teasing. With an angelic smile on her lips, and a naughty twinkle in her eye, her voice climbed the peaks of any soprano register in one moment, and descended to the deep guttural chants of her ancestors in the next. There will never again be anyone quite like Linda Dela Cruz.
