Kalani Pe'a made history yesterday at the #GRAMMYs. His album “E Walea” (http://amzn.to/2lAnYF8) was named the winner of the Grammy Award for Best Regional Roots Album.

It was the first time in the history of the category that the award had been won by a Native Hawaiian recording artist. It was also the first time since the category was created in 2011 that the award had not been won by a Louisiana-based Cajun or zydeco album.

"E Walea" is Pe'a's debut album.
