If there is one word to describe (the chanting) it's powerful and moving. You can have a roomful of noisy people, and if someone started chanting, you would button up very fast. You know something is happening.

Believe me, this won't be over anyone's head. It's really pretty much like you are at a very loose party - just fun, and relaxing. Yet the music has a lot of intensity to it, too. It's a lot of up-tempo music. We are not going to put anyone to sleep.

There's a transcendent quality to Hawaiian music. There's something very grounded in it, very roots-oriented. It grabbed me so much that it changed me.
