Danny Kua’ana was a musician of many talents. Apart from being one of great Hawaiian falsetto singers, a highly skilled composer and arranger and a brilliant ukulele player, he made valuable contributions to Dick McIntire’s Harmony Hawaiians, Lani McIntire’s various orchestral configurations, Mannie Klein’s Hawaiians and to the Harmony Hawaiians late-40s radio transcriptions with Eddie Bush or Bernie Kaai on steels.

Following these successes, he began a long term musical relationship with Kaai that resulted in some of the best, and most durable Hawaiian music on record. Listen to a short excerpt from “Noho Paipai” (The Rocking Horse Hula).
