MELE KALIKIMAKA! IT'S CHRISTMAS DAY!
Tarvin Mākia has composed, recorded and released two beautiful songs that celebrate the holidays in his own Hawaiian Style. “Christmas Day” features Tarvin’s signature sound, and includes a guest appearance by multiple Nā Hōkū Hanohano Award-winning Female Vocalist of the Year Natalie Ai Kamauu! Both were recorded and engineered by multiple Grammy and Nā Hōkū Hanohano Award-winning engineer and producer Dave Tucciarone at his famed studio!
There is no better way to get into the Christmas spirit than listening to holiday music old and new. We hope these songs will become a part of your annual tradition!
