Love it! I was looking for a great compilation of Hawaiian music and when I came across the sound track for the "Descendants." I saw the movie a few years ago and remembered that the soundtrack were all Hawaiian music. Then I thought what better compilation than the soundtrack for the movie. I am sure the producers have thought out and selected the best music for the movie. I have several compilation CDs but they are not as good as this. This one has the variety that reflects Hawaiian music.

Nice collection featuring Gabby Pahinui's earlier renditions, contemporary jazz composition by Jeff Peterson, and notable musicians. Having already owned a wide array of Hawaiian albums, the songs are familiar, so what's not to like, especially coming from a "big sound" system. The one song that didn't seem to quite fit, and maybe because it wasn't sung in Hawaiian, was "Mom". In the film, it comes on right after the conclusion. It seems to be common practice to include a vocal piece to wrap up the theme. Some choices work better than others.
I had been looking for this CD after viewing the film again -- so many Hawaiian standards by great Hawaiian singers. Mellow, mellow -- so worth adding to one's collection of Hawaiian traditional music.

The CD was in perfect condition. The music, which is all or virtually all Hawaiian, is beautiful. If you watched the film the music was wonderfully appropriate.
