Ulana, The Way of the Heart is an inspiring and uplifting musical tapestry woven from ancient and modern cultures, including Hawaiian, Celtic, African, Native American and Maori traditions. In her premier CD, Kaleo Wheeler delivers a musical call for freedom and a reminder to embrace the love in our hearts. When we do, we love ourselves and each other; and from there, everything else around us falls into place and is okay as well. This is the true meaning of “Aloha” from the Hawaiian tradition −the reconnection to the Divine Love that is within each of us to bring us into Harmony (Pono) with all our relations.
“Ulana is a powerful statement of love, wholeness, and respect for all life. Bask in its energy and you will be transported to a realm where the spirit is real.” -Alan Cohen, author of "A Deep Breath of Life"
"The love exuding from your voice will heal many and give the children strength to move forward. Bless you." -Lorraine Wittich
"I love your CD. It is beautiful. Your voice, the instrumentation, the musicians and backup singers, the production, the choice of songs. Wow! Everything is magical. -Sharon Russell, the Musical Rainbow
"Awesome...all aspects of it - what an amazing project to bring to the world - the Gods are smiling." -JoAnn Chambers, Visionary Music

Thank You's from Kaleo
I thank the Kumu Hula (traditional hula and chant teachers) and Kahunas who have supported and helped me on this journey.
I especially thank Kawaikapuokalani Hewett for his beautiful songs and chants of Aloha, 'Ohana (family) and Pono (harmony); and Aloha Dalire, who was my first chant teach and set the foundation for me being able to sing these songs in Hawaiian and for the Oli Aloha chant, her personal family chant, that she share with me. It has become my personal and signature chant for invoking the presence of Aloha.
I also thank Kahiliopua Wong-Brentlinger, who taught me so much about life and Aloha; Serge Kahili King for sharing the 7 Guidelines of Huna; Kumu Hula, Susan Pa'iniu Floyd, for her aloha and support; Phil Young for sharing the ancient Hawaiian path of Huna Mua which is now the foundation of all I live and share with others; and Dr. Haleakala Hew Len, for carrying on and sharing the Self I-dentity Ho'oponopono process from Morrnah Nalamaku Simeona
I thank Malidoma for allowing me to include the wonderful west African chant that he brought to this country; to Fionntulach of the Ceile De for allowing me to use the sacred chant from her Celtic tradition; and to all the other teachers and friends who have shared of themselves and their traditions with me.
I also thank Jeannette LoVetri, the Director of the Somatic Voicework, for all that she has shared with me over the last 20+ years about voice training and technique; and Shawn Gallaway for being the producer of this CD. Ulana would not have been made without his creativity, energy, guidance and support.
Mahalo Nui Loa to all of you!
Kaleo
