1959 Johnny Spencer And The Kona Koasters – s’Pacifica

s’Pacifica is an album from Johnny Spencer And The Kona Koasters, released in 1959.

From the album: ….This album is unusual because it presents music with an entirely different sound. Chances are, you haven’t ever heard anything like – unless, of course, you happen to be living in Kona. It is performed by a highly talented group of native-born musicians who capture and convey the strange and exotic melodies and rhythms of their land….
