Artist Portrait

Kalama's Quartet

Band, US
World

One of Hawaii's greatest pre-World War II bands. Before the addition of guitarist/vocalist Dave Kaleipua Munson, in late 1927, the band was named the Hanapi Trio but became later the Kalama's Quartet. Although a second steel guitarist, Bob Matsu, joined in 1928, the name was not changed. The group remained together for a short period. After recording several tunes for OKeh between 1927 and 1931, they completed their recording career with four tracks recorded for Victor in January 1932. Following the disbanding of the group, Kalama, Nawahine, Munson, and Matsu faded into obscurity.
