6 & 12 String Slack Key

Reseña del editor With a distinctive, almost magical sense of rhythm and improvisation, Cyril Pahinui continues to advance the musical legacy of his father, the late Gabby Pahinui. His striking compositions, powerful interpretations of timeless Hawaiian classics, and expressive vocals reflect a highly developed artistry, placing this gifted musician in the ranks of today's most acclaimed guitarists. Na Hoku Award Winner: Instrumental Album of the Year 1994 Críticas Son of seminal slack-key artist Gabby "Pops" Pahinui and member of the eclectic Pahinui Bros. Band Cyril Pahinui brings a rich, American folkie texture to the genre due as much to an incorporation of wide-ranging influences as to his 12-string guitar approach. Fast pieces like "Moani Ke'ala" benefit from a near-carillon sound, while the more deliberately paced songs take on a hymnal resonance. Resourceful guitar work meets grade-A yodeling vocals here, plus the impossible-to-top disc-closer "Lullaby for Pops," a touchingly sentimental instrumental which does the old man proud. --AllMusic - Bob TarteAs the 9th of Gabby Pahinui's 10 children, Cyril hails from the first family of slack key. He's known for his percussive sound, which he creates by dampening the strings with his right hand, but the jaunty, delicate melodies and improvisations he places between the beats are just as impressive. He can stretch out effortlessly from the traditional to the progressive, sometimes even in the same song, and he's also one of the genre's most emotive vocalists, particularly in the Hawaiian falsetto style. This solo album offers a strong mix of traditional and improvised-in-the-studio songs. --Tienda - John Morthland
