Josh tatofi’s father is also a great artist. His father played bass/guitar for years in a popular band called “Kapena” one of hawai’i #1 group of all time greats. “Fiji” is also another hawai’i all time great artist as well, lives in Kahuku the same city as Iam Tongi.. Watch Fiji’s live performances it’s amazing,awesome, great vibes won’t let you down. Aloha and mahalo from Alaska Brahda Dennis KFR stay blessed… 🤙

Josh Tatofi, a Grammy-nominated and multiple Nā Hōkū Hanohano Award-winner(Hawaiʻiʻs music awards) has been called the Polynesian Luther Vandross (Heʻs born and raised in Hawaiʻi but of Tongan descent.) He sings beautiful Hawaiian songs as well as R&B, reggae, etc. and is a big inspiration to Iam Tongi. Have you heard Iamʻs cover of this song? Iʻm hoping heʻll be able to do it on American Idol and let the world know more about another great artist from Hawaiʻi. "Perfect to Me" cover by Iam Tongi -- kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXrSpqenhaqUY6c

We’re all so happy that one of our native sons has been chosen to share his God given talent and family values to share with the world. Hoping the voices of Polynesia will have a greater impact on the hearts of the listeners around world to find more love and chill out a lot more.

Do you know in Hawaii we have so many different genre of music all the way from traditional Hawaiian to contemporary Hawaiian and a little bit of country there too in the early 70s there was a contemporary music renaissance kind of where the traditional Hawaiian music with w with Hawaiian lyrics pivoted to the English lyrics there’s a group called Country Comfort that was very popular in the early to mid 70s. The lead singer was the person named Billy Kaui unfortunately most of the band members are deceased now, but their music lives on. I’m sure being from Alabama you might have an affinity for country music and also would be familiar with the current day singers. I will give you a link to their second album, which is my favorite till to today which,I have on my playlist but there’s a particular song called Pretty Girl if you don’t mind listening to that particular song or the whole album but who in your mind would or could do a remake of that song anyways I am a new subscriber I really enjoy your channel and your reactions and now especially your newfound love in Hawaii keep those videos coming. You are really doing the music community a great service my man pop open a beer a load up this album and enjoy Mahalo and Aloha. kzbin.info/aero/OLAK5uy_lIMmnoT6UPTu-Owfku8Rg_4p5nQ0rldz8
