Waialea Trio are slack-key guitarists George Kuo, Martin Pahinui & Aaron Mahi. Their performances feature the breathtaking intimacy of solo slack key guitar, followed by a rousing trio jam session, trading spontaneous instrument solos and unique vocal harmonies, recreating the atmosphere of a Hawaiian backyard party. Each of them are highly accomplished and recognized Hawaiian musicians that have been performing together many years, for the pure enjoyment of perpetuating traditional music and reciprocating and embellishing each other?s talents, to where these feelings become instilled in all audiences.
Waialea Trio's album, "Ho'olohe" (to listen), was a final nominee at the 2004 Na Hoku Hanohano Awards (similar to the Grammy Awards for Hawaii) for the categories of: Hawaiian Album of the Year and Best Male Vocalist (Martin Pahinui) of the Year. George Kuo (6 and 12 string slack key guitar), Martin Pahinui (6 string slack key guitar), and Aaron Mahi (bass guitar) present the traditional folk art of Hawaiian slack key guitar and vocal melodies in a manner that will give the listener goose bumps on their arms and a rich happiness from their deep soulful delivery, that is projected in a language and feeling that anyone can understand and appreciate.
