Manaʻo Company
A cornerstone of Hawaiʻi island music with multiple direct recordings featuring FIJI and a shared history stretching back decades.
Two catalogs crossing on the same recordings.
Manaʻo Company and FIJI share a direct recording history on the 2001 album Spread a Little Aloha. FIJI is featured on “Dedicate My Love” and again on “Stepping Out / Hawaiian Children” alongside Three Plus.
The relationship fits a larger pattern from George’s career. In a 2001 interview, FIJI described how he regularly wrote, produced, arranged, and contributed background vocals for other island artists, with Manaʻo Company specifically named among the acts he worked with.
That makes Manaʻo Company’s appearance at FIJI Fest part of a real shared musical history — not simply two artists from the same genre, but collaborators whose catalogs intersect.
Manaʻo Company feat. FIJI — “Dedicate My Love”
A direct collaboration from Manaʻo Company’s 2001 album Spread a Little Aloha.
One of Hawaiʻi’s enduring island-music groups.
Manaʻo Company has been part of Hawaiʻi’s contemporary island-music landscape since the 1990s, with songs including “Drop Baby Drop / Who Loves You Pretty Baby,” “Roots Rockin’,” “Aloha,” and “Sweet Reggae Woman.”
Their 2001 album Spread a Little Aloha brought together a broad network of Hawaiʻi artists and includes two tracks featuring FIJI — a snapshot of the collaborative community George helped strengthen.
One stage. One legacy.
Join Manaʻo Company and the FIJI Fest community in Honolulu as artists, family, friends, and fans gather to honor George “FIJI” Veikoso.
