They originated on the leeward (Kona or westerly) side of O‘ahu. After the deaths of the Kamakawiwoole brothers, the remaining members dropped the "of Niihau" and now are known as the Makaha Sons, consisting of Louis “Moon” Kauakahi on 6-string guitar, John Koko on upright acoustic bass and Jerome Koko on 12-string guitar.

In 1976, the Mākaha Sons of Ni‘ihau began their professional career with five members, as an opening act in a small nightclub known as “Uptown Yokos.” The group has reorganized several times, with members seeking other professional careers, and the deaths of the Kamakawiwoole brothers.

The Mākaha Sons of Niihau and the Makaha Sons have released 21 CDs, and produced a DVD on their own record label. They have won Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards and Hawaii Music Awards. They produce their own signature concert, “Take a Walk in the Country,” in Hawai‘i each year. They produce and promote young artists in traditional Hawaiian music. They formed the “Mākaha Sons Foundation”.

Thank you!!! Heard this circa '92, and have been hooked since!!! My hawaiian classmate turned me on to the 'Sons" and they are wonderful. Even in 2021. Iz left us waaaay too soon.

@BarryAdams777

@mymelt1770

The Makaha Sons give power to the song…my theme song, MAHALO 🤙🏾🤙🏾

@fredv3974

This version of Wasted Along The Way, in my opinion is done even better than the original artists. Wow!

@LuckyDawgProductionsModerator

Awesome!

@davidshuey9742

I was there. Transcendent....

@nickdworshak

Mahalos! I’ve been tryna find their live version of this song for a while now

@HawaiianMusicArchives

Anything else you've been looking for?

@nickdworshak

@Hawaiian Music Archives hmm. maybe some sunday manoa 3, Peter moon band, Lim family, Ke’alohi or some of the really early Sean Naauao songs.. whatever you got! Thanks!

@HawaiianMusicArchives

I don't have any Lim Family or Ke'alohi (at least I don't think). Been listening to Peter Moon a lot so I'm uploading all that first and then I'll get to Sunday Manoa
