Kohala’s Mana Road delivers the Kohala sound and precision guitar performance Kohala fans have come to love and expect while turning up the notch a bit with the addition of congas, cajon, and ipu. Mana Road features all new originals composed by the three members of the group which is a departure from their earliest releases of popular Hawaiian covers. This release was kicked off with a 5 week tour in Japan.

Percussion: Asia Lynn Yap: congas and cajon; Thomas Mohbat: congas, cajon, shaker; triangle; Charlie Recaido: ipu, ipu heke, shakers, cajon, finger snaps, cymbals, and bells; Charles Michael Brotman: sampled percussion editing.
