"Makana" is a Hawaiian word meaning "gift" 
The music on this album was inspired by our journey to the Hawaiian islands, Kaua'i and Big Island, in January 2015. 

Women of the World is an award-winning international a cappella quartet that performs original and traditional folk music with a contemporary twist, in 31 languages. The four singers represent Japan, Italy, India, and USA (by way of Haiti). Despite differences in their upbringing, language, religion, ethnicity, food, and music, they are bound by one unique desire: to explore sounds, rhythms, and musical vocabulary from all over the world.
