Hawaiian Music: Beach 5 - Christian Yrizarry ‘94
Their name may not be familiar, but their sound is unmistakable.
In a collaboration with former Ho’onu’a bandmate Sani Apuakehau, Christian Yrizarry ‘94 recently released the self-titled debut album for his newly formed group Beach 5. Named for the duo’s favorite beach spot (Makapu’u), Beach 5 takes an updated spin on the “feel good island sound” that Ho’onu’a made popular over the past decade.
As a part of Ho’onu’a, Christian released three albums which included a number of memorable singles including “When I Think About You”, “Blue Light” and “Passion Love” among many others while Sani, who actually attended Iolani School with the Class of ‘92 until second grade, released two solo albums of his own, the second under Christian’s production company label, Feel Good Entertainment.
