Pua Tubarose
Zachary Helm, brother of the late George Jarrett Helm, and father of Raiatea Helm, contacted us regarding a song search. ["Aloha Harry B.: Long time no see! I am trying to locate an old 78-rpm record of the song "Pua Tubarose" by an old time artist. The composer credited for the song is Kimo Kamana. I know that this song was done by my brother, George Helm, and also by the group, Sunday Manoa. I'm trying to find a recording of the song made further back in Hawaii's history. Would you happen to have an old recording of this song? Mahalo very much. Zack Helm."]
In response to Zack's request, we've uploaded a nice early version of "Pua Tubarose" done by the great falsettoist George Ka'inapau, in a duet with Vickie I'i Rodrigues, recorded in Hawaii in the post-WWII 1940s. The lyrics were published in a Charles E. King songbook. Length:
2:39
Released on: 31-05-2009
Artist/Compiled by: George Ka'inapau & Vickie I'i Rodrigues
