MAC teams up with the Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation!

The Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation (NHLC) is the only nonprofit, public interest law firm working almost exclusively in the area of Native Hawaiian rights law.

We have put together a special 16 track collection of beautiful Hawaiian music, and all proceeds will go to the NHLC. Download the entire playlist for $12, or individual songs for 99 cents each.

Preview the songs below or on our website, and download for a good cause!

Thanks to support from donors like you, the NHLC is able to provide legal assistance to individuals, families, and communities that seek to protect their traditional cultural practices and maintain their ancestral ties to their lands and natural resources.

In Loving Memory – Aunty Edna Pualani Farden Bekeart

We are saddened to share the news that Aunty Edna Pualani Farden Bekeart passed away at the young age of 95. She was a Mountain Apple songwriter and sister of famed Aunty Irmgard Aluli.

Amy Hanaiali’i recorded a few of her songs earlier in her career which delighted Aunty more than most could imagine.

She was a recipient for the Hawaii Academy of Recording Arts Lifetime Achievement Award as well as the American Pen Women.

One of the best parts of working with Aunty Edna was that we received lead sheets with lyrics and music as well as the story behind each song. Another great thing was receiving a business letter handwritten in cursive (no matter how long the letter was) and always receiving a small gift when she visited!
