I don't know if this person is the "singer" exactly but the original score comes from Cyril Mockridge.
"The group that sang the Hawaiian version of Pearly Shells (in the movie Donovan's Reef), is Kamehameha School Glee Club. To my knowledge there is no recorded version by them."
Another person states:
"I found an acappella version of 'pupu a o ewa' by the the St. Caterine church choir. They are the group that did the movie version in "Donovan's Reef". It is an LP recording titled "aloha oe e malia."
