"Uncle Dennis Kamakahi was a true legend in not only Hawaiian music but an ambassador of aloha for all of Hawaii and the world to share. His legacy will live far beyond the physical lives of his children and his grandchildren," said Kale Hannahs, musician with Waipuna, who also played with Kamakahi. "His music is loved by everybody throughout the world and we're just blessed that he shared a little bit of it with us."
