Keal'i Reichel qualifies, hands-down, as the most popular and commercially successful Hawaiian recording artist of the 1990s. A musician who blends contemporary pop sounds with traditional Hawaiian chanting, Reichel originally felt somewhat shy about public performance, and reportedly recorded his debut album for friends only - yet it sold over 350,000 copies, launched one of the most lucrative careers in world music, and generated a plethora of follow-ups. Reichel headlines the performance release Keali'i Reichel: Kukahi: Live in Concert, which features an extended live set by the musician and his backup band, a traditional hula performance, and guest appearances by artists Ben Vegas and Keal'i Ceballos. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide |
