Al Kealoha Perry and the Singing Surfriders “Al Perry’s Hawaiian Chants & Hulas”

Here’s a pdf of a booklet that came with the record!

It looks like that booklet was for a 78 10 inch record album with the same songs as side A. The “Chants”. I’m guessing there is also a 78 album of the “hulas” on side B..

Side One: Chants

1. Pua Hau O Maleka
2. Pele
3. Kalanianaole
4. Kalakaua
5. Lanakila
6. Ta-Hu-Wa-Hu-Wai

Side Two: Hulas

1. Poki
2. The Hula Oni Oni E
3. Hawaiian Cowboy Polynesian Love Song
4. Twilight In Hawaii
5. Under A Spreading Cocoanut Tree

Here is a complete set of the Songs Sol Ho’opi’i and His Novelty Five recorded on Decca. These were his last recordings before he started focusing on sacred music, all played on electric lap steel. These are from Australian pressings but they were released in The U.S. on Decca as well.
