1999 Liner Notes of the Year! Received the prestigious Na Hoku Hanohano Award from the
Hawaiian Academy of Recording Arts. Hawaii’s Golden
Voice – Alfred Apaka – is a true Hawaiian legend.
His voice expressed the romance and enchantment of Hawaii as no
one else ever has!

legendary performer.
This 16 selection historical anthology accurately portrays the early years of Alfred Apaka.
These are the songs that led up to the world discovering this handsome Hawaiian with the golden baritone voice. He
possessed a voice that could range from B flat to E with incredible agility.
He was a consummate balladeer who
must be credited as a major factor in the popularization of
Hawaiian music for two decades. These are the
