Venus & the Sky Turn to Clay: the Instrumental World Of Makana

From kinetic to meditative, Makana weaves a symphonic experience, extracting proportions of sound commonly equated with full orchestration; only here he utilizes no overdubs-nothing but one guitar on each track. The roots are Hawaiian slack key; the branches suggest hues of bluegrass, classical, blues, raga and flamenco. Makana's rapidly expanding popularity in the guitar world has made him Hawaii's leading export of slack key guitar.
