notes

In 2006 the German music producer Stefan Winter came to Honolulu to record the musical travelogue »Hawai'i, Under The Rainbow« [Winter&Winter 910 115-2] featuring George Kuo. After the release of that album in 2007 the culture organisation Musiques de Nuit under the direction of Patrick Duval invited George Kuo to Bordeaux in France. In a wonderful mansion near Bordeaux with great acoustics, George Kuo and Stefan Winter found the perfect place to record the solo album »O Ke Aumoe — Night of the Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar« [Winter&Winter 910 142-2]. This solo album presents George Kuo's performance without any overdubs, without any special studio equipment, just using two microphones to record George Kuo's music in the most natural way.

"It's a very personal kind of art that displays a lot of the person's feelings. The nicest time for slack key is "aumoe" [late at night]; everything is quiet and calm and the spirit of slack key is coming out. You can hear the spirit of all the ancestors." George Kuo presents on »O Ke Aumoe — Night of the Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar« wonderful relaxing sounds and songs from Hawaii, the island with the most beautiful rainbows.
