One of his best! (listen link below) They are all good. I feel enlivened and joyful while listening to his music.  The latest one (Different Game) has more rock, less Hawaiian.  It has his usual amazing slack key tuning.  He speaks of love as unconditional and not based on need..(New Love Song) The music is beautifully sang and played.

*(open tuned guitar)

Makana, whose name means 'gift' in Hawaiian, is a beloved slack key guitarist and singer on the islands, now living on the West Coast, USA.  His work is trans-genre, is innovative and has the frequency of Love and It's new world.
