Hawaii recording artist and entertainer Makana recently put out new music based on slack-key guitar stylings, but he continues to evolve his sound.

His latest album, "Pulama: Legacies of Hawaii," is inspired by his heroes from the Hawaiian music renaissance, including George Helm, Gabby "Pops" Pahinui and Dennis Kamakahi. But the new music is also deeply personal.

He shares all the stories that led to him making this album, plus he talks about a concert he will be performing at the Waikiki Aquarium.
