Raiatea Helm is the diva of distinction this holiday season, celebrating with a new live-in-concert DVD filmed this summer at the Hawaii Theatre, and a sweet mini-CD with five tracks, including two versions of her original composition tucked in a deluxe Hawaiian Host Macadamia Medley Christmas box.

She's also performing at 7 Thursday night at Blaisdell Concert Hall in the "Four Doctors, A Patient & A Sweetheart!"fundraiser.

"Raiatea Live!" (Raiatea Helm Records-Jazz Alley TV) marks Helm's 25th birthday and expresses her maturing nature.

She duets with guest artist Keola Beamer on a trio of his classics, perhaps reintroducing his "Mr. Sun Cho Lee," "Honolulu City Lights" and "Hilo Hana-kahi" to a younger, new audience.

She displays a sultry jazz persona with an Island spin on "On a Tropic Night," goes rock and rousing (a la Stevie Nicks) with "Dreams," sharing her "other" life as songbird with Fleetwood Mac's Mick Fleetwood's Island Rumours Band.

Wisely, she retains her Hawaiian foundation with sweetness and devotion, notably on a pair of hold-the-note-long-timers, "Alika" and "Kalamaula." There's a beloved old-fashioned "Ki-mo Henderson Hula," plus "Pua Maeole" with Andrea Torres and Peter Rockford-Espiritu doing a balletic take — she in aerial suspension, he on the floor — a measure of Helm's wide-swinging pendulum.

Then there's "Hawaiian Host Presents New Original Music From Raiatea" (Raiatea Helm Records-Hawaiian Host) on which she introduces two versions (acoustic and an Island remix) of her "Foolish Ways" original, a relationships number destined for a long shelf life for this twice-nominated Grammy contender.

This is Helm's — and Hawaiian Host's — second partnership: a confection suitable for gift-giving, here and abroad. Culture with chocolates works.

Tracks from three earlier CDs — "Kaulana O Kapuaiwa," "Kuu Lei Pua Kukui O Kamakou" and "Hälawa" complete the package.
