Much of the fare already is enmeshed in the fabric of Hawai'i's music, from Kalakaua's anthem "Hawai'i Pono'i" to his "Koni Au," from Lili'u's "Ke Aloha O Ka Haku" to her "He 'Ala Nei E Mapu Mai Nei," from Leleiohoku's "Moani Ke 'Ala" to Likelike's " 'Ainahau."

The renderings are no-frills-traditional; Kumukahi surely represents a songbird schooled in sharing the style of the old for the current listener, with a voice that serves as the requisite bridge between then and now.

His great-grandmother's hula roots certainly have made a lasting impression on this versatile artist who has previously recorded, performed and toured with a stellar roster of local artists including The Makaha Sons, Raiatea Helm, Sean Na'auao, Ku'uipo Kumukahi, Ho'okena and Frank Kawaikapuokalani Hewett. His pedigree, plus his potent voice, make him a key player.

Here, he teams with Robert Cazimero and Kea'o Costa on Hewett's delicate and moving "Ola'a Beauty," revives his late great-grandmother Emily Kau'i Zuttermeister's "Na Pua Lei 'Ilima," puts his seal on the traditional "Moanalua," demonstrates his interpretative skills on "'Akahikuleana A Ka Piko" and turns on the falsetto on "Kuhio Beach" and "La'ieikawai."

The title of the CD loosely means "fulfilled," or, in the parlance of Reichel's notations, "the skillful gathering of life's experiences, the accumulation of desires and dreams, and the realization of our on-going commitment to honor our 'aina, kupuna and 'ohana."

Greig rightfully mines her Hawaiian values and riches to showcase a body of wonderfully expressive Island songs, some in English (like "Blue Lei," supplemented by the voices of Weldon Kekauoha and Kahulu Maluo-Huber), mostly in Hawaiian (like "None Hula," with mom Hulu Lindsey aboard, and "Ho'ohaehae," with its sweetly nahenahe backyard flavor).

But perhaps the essence of Greig's effervescence is the opening track, "Ku'u Home Alokele," which captures the old-style charm of true Hawaiiana.
