In the meantime, here is Eddie Kamae and Mountain Apple Company CEO, Jon de Mello talking about the subject of the DVD, Sam Liʻa.
Snapped on the go! Jon de Mello & Brother Noland have a quick mid-morning jam session in the TMAC studio.
KGMB is working with us for a Special they are doing on the Lives and Career of The Brothers Cazimero. They came into our studio this week to film some interviews. We snuck in to take some pics.
The week before their Self Titled Album was released, Keola Beamer and Raiatea Helm, came in to out studio to talk to us about recording their album and to perform a song for us.
Here are all 3 videoʻs for our Mountain Apple Company Presents Series.
"I Kilohi Aku Au"
Keola and Raiatea "Talk Story"
Keola and Raiatea Discuss Challenges they dealt with during recording (This Challenge involved the Hospital)
To prep for their upcoming performances together, Keola and Raiatea came in to rehearse with their band. While hanging out and watching these two perform, I had to take my face away from the camera to appreciate what I was watching. Being submerged in such wonderful music every day itʻs easy to take for granted what iʻm experiencing. I have to make sure to remind myself to step away from my job once in awhile and marvel in the fact that iʻm watching Keola Beamer perform Honolulu City Lights right in front me, with an accompaniment with Raiatea Helm!
I am definitely not bragging (maybe a little), if anything Iʻm writing this to remind myself what iʻm involved in on a daily basis. I hope everyone enjoys what we are documenting, as much as we love sharing it.
