For over 20 years Mark Riley, a Californian by birth, has come to appreciate and embrace the life, culture and sounds of the Hawaiian nation. In order to honour the people and respect the friends and place he now calls home, this recording has involved cultural expressions, natural soundscapes and Hawaiian musicians to help tell Mark’s unfolding story of journeying with God on the island of Kaua’i as well as internationally. The melding of modern music and indigenous Hawaiian instruments on this project is a symbol of different people groups coming together in unity and exploring their God given heritage and unique musical gifts. Martin has collected a few drums and instruments from his trips to the Hawaiian Islands, check them out here. ♥ See pictures of Kaua’i here ♥ Read blog report about the island of Kaua’i here. ♥ Want more info about Mark www.markrileymusic.com
