Get your next high-octane cocktail party hopping with a Big Band Swing flavor. Big Kahuna (a.k.a. Concord Records recording artist Matt Catingub) has put a new spin on the rhythms of classic Hawaiian songs, TV themes, Las Vegas lounge and toe-tappin’ all-around party music. The high-energy album Shake Those Hula Hips, by the Big Kahuna and the Copa Cat Pack, blends the original music with the powerful animated beat of the big band swing. These hip-swinging renditions of modern hits will fill any room with a magical enthusiasm, and cause all to Shake Those Hula Hips.
Big Kahuna and the Copa Cat Pack unite a new ensemble of hand picked, amazingly talented, young musicians (featuring guest vocal performances by Debby Boone and the incomparable Rosemary Clooney) to create a compilation of entertaining tunes (Check out “In the Mood”, “Little Grass Shack” and the Champs party anthem “Tequila”). The re-discovery of these classic songs, with a contemporary swing twist, makes them soar above the original versions. So grab a mai tai, hop in your favorite Hawaiian shirt, spin this CD, and enjoy the party!!
