“Sarah has a wonderful creative eye, and her photos that chronicled the musicians and guests that performed at Fleetwood's on Front Street captured the passion, joy, and exuberance that we all felt while playing there. Having this memorialized in her book is a treasure and a forever keepsake.” —Mick Fleetwood, Drummer, Fleetwood Mac
"Sarah's photos capture the joyful and colorful moments at a wonderful club we all love and miss. Although we can't go there in person now, the good times we shared remain alive in her exciting photographs. To see these images of Mick Fleetwood and his friends having great fun making the music we loved puts us right back into those wonderful days before the great fire and makes us want to bring it back! Thank you for keeping it alive—this is a great book!” —Henry Diltz, Music Photographer
"MĀLAMA MAUI will be a treasure to all who enjoyed music at the iconic Fleetwood's on Front Street. Sarah’s book is a fabulous example of the greater community using their talent and creativity to support the people of Maui during this challenging time. We are honored to be the beneficiary of the profits from this book and will continue our work to support children, mental health resources, and economic stability for all who struggle in the aftermath of the devastating fires." —Nicholas Winfrey, President, Maui United Way

MĀLAMA: Hawaiian / mā.lama — The value of stewardship. To serve, honor, protect and care for.
Sarah Sharaf-Eldien arrived in Maui in 2015 seeking purpose and alignment in her career as a photographer. A chance encounter with the manager at Mick Fleetwood’s oceanfront restaurant, Fleetwood’s On Front St., landed her the kind of assignment most photographers dream of.
For seven months she worked alongside Fleetwood, legendary drummer of the band Fleetwood Mac, documenting the intimate, electrifying concerts he held there.
From guest appearances by internationally renowned artists including Steven Tyler (Aerosmith), Sammy Hagar (Van Halen), and John Densmore (The Doors), to live performances by Hawaiian musical legend Uncle Willie K and some of the most talented musicians on the island, Fleetwood’s was a vibrant musical oasis like no other anywhere in the world.
MĀLAMA MAUI is a story of synchronicity, self-discovery, and Hawaiian spiritual values, vividly illustrated with photographs that reflect an extraordinary experience. Along the way, she learned from iconic music photographer Henry Diltz at The Morrison Hotel Gallery, who deeply influenced her artistic vision.
“If you do follow your bliss, … you begin to meet people who are in the field of your bliss, and they open the doors to you.” —Joseph Campbell
With a collection of over 100 captivating photos celebrating the island and the musicians who play there, MĀLAMA MAUI serves as a visual and cultural tribute to the island and Lahaina Town, preserving it for future generations to come.
