From her earliest work in the 1980s, she treated the genre as serious art, not nostalgia, reviving classics like โMy Little Grass Shack,โ โSadie, The South Seas Lady,โ and her own modern hit โUwehe, โAmi, and Slide,โ which won Song of the Year at the 1988 Na Hoku Hanohano Awards. Her voice brought sophistication and sensuality to songs once considered dated, giving them new life.
With Tropic Rhapsody (2008), created alongside arranger Kit Ebersbach, she perfected that vision. Blending Hawaiian warmth with jazz and Latin rhythms, the album moved gracefully from the shimmering โLei of Starsโ to the lively โPagan Love Songโ and the tender closing of โAloha โOe.โ
In an era dominated by Hawaiian-language releases, Teresaโs decision to make a primarily English-language album was both confident and heartfelt. Tropic Rhapsody remains a modern classic - elegant, adventurous, and unmistakably Hawaiian, just like Teresa herself.
