YouTube.com - Lani McIntire and His Orchestra: Beautiful Kahana - Royale, LP 57, 1940s
Comments: Lani McIntire and His Orchestra perform "Beautiful Kahana" from the 10" LP, "Native Hawaiian Songs and Hulas" (Royale, LP 57), issued I believe in the late 1940s. This work was composed by Sam Koki. Lani McIntire sings in this rendition (beginning at 1:10). The "Royale" label was founded in the late 1930s by Eli Oberstein (1901-1960). Details about Oberstein can be reviewed here: www.donaldclarkemusicbox.com
