Nuova formazione musicale guidata da David Hoffman, che propone sia i suoi brani acustici, sia classici del rock rivisitati in una chiave un pò particolare. Un'altro viaggio musicale,   ma non solo, è anche una ricerca di semplicità e pura musicalità , elementi perfetti per permettersi la denominazione "Aloha", che in hawaiiano non significa solo ciao o amore, ma rappresenta uno spirito di vivere e di condividere in semplicità. 

 "Island style" è lo stile che caratterizza questa formazione, fatta di voce, corde di chitarra acustica, ukulele e conga in ritmi allegri e armonie . David prende spunto anche da alcuni cantautori ed interpreti che già hanno intrapreso questo viaggio nell' "island style" e che hanno avuto un profondo contatto con le isole hawaiiane. Alcuni di questi sono John Cruze, Ka'au Crater boys, Valley boys.

2016.  New year. New crew. New beginnings.  Lets go.
