T.J. Keanu Tario - He Kaikamahine O Kekahi Moku [Gold Vinyl]

Gold Vinyl variant.

This vinyl is more than a collection of songs — it is a vessel of memory, sovereignty, and resistance throughout the island chain.

As a kānaka maoli, creating and releasing this work is an act of reclamation in a world that continues to occupy, exploit, and erase our lāhui. Every groove in this record holds echoes of our ancestors, of our waters and winds, of our uprisings and rituals.

It is a reminder that our stories are not relics — they are alive, embodied, and evolving. To press these sounds into wax is to affirm that our voices will not be silenced, that Hawaiian art & music is political, and that creation is a form of ceremony.

This is for our people, past, present, and yet to come. ~ T.J. Keanu Tario
