E Walea is the debut album by Hawaiian singer Kalani Pe'a. It was released on August 5, 2016.[1][2]

Production

E Walea includes seven original Hawaiian music compositions written or co-written by Pe'a. The album was recorded in Honolulu, Hawaii, produced by Na Hoku Hanohano Award-winner Dave Tucciarone and co-produced by Kamakoa Lindsey-Asing and Allan B. Cool.[3] The English translation of E Walea is "relaxing at ease with the gentle voices of the birds".[4] AXS wrote, "Kalani Pe'a's music isn't your typical island fare; rather, the Hawaiian singer-songwriter plays with the traditional format with brazen vocals, uncommon compositions and clever reworkings of unlikely hits (like "You Are So Beautiful" and "Always and Forever")."[5] The album title came from Pe'a's nephew's name Kamali‘ikanekuikekaipu‘oluwaleaokalani.[3]

Awards

E Walea was nominated for a Grammy Award in December 2016,[6] and won the award in February 2017, for Best Regional Roots Music Album. Pe'a made history, becoming the first Hawaiian music recording artist to win in that category.[7][8] It was the first time in the history of the category that the award had been won by a Native Hawaiian recording artist. It was also the first time since the category was created in 2011 that the award had not been won by a Louisiana-based Cajun or zydeco album.[9][10] E Walea also won the 2017 Na Hoku Hanohano Award for Contemporary Album of the Year, making Pe'a the first artist to win both a Grammy Award and Na Hoku Hanohano Award for the same album.[11][12] E Walea peaked at number 11 on the Billboard charts under World Music Albums.[13]
