Beautiful song, reminds me of a song that always makes me cry when I leave Hawaii.

Nardo Ranks - Burrup

He is amazing, nobody rocks an uke like Jake!

In honor of the new Freddy Mercury movie, Jake Shimabukuro - Bohemian Rhapsody

Henry Kapono, Israel Kamakawiwoʻole, Cyril Pahinui, Roland Cazimero in a classic backyard jam setting. The song is about a common theme in Hawaii, the loss of land and destruction of the Hawaiian culture. Iz & Roland have passed on and Uncle Cyril has been in the hospital for around 2 years now. Only Kapono is…

Some Samoan reggae for your hump day! Kapena - Masese

A great Who cover

Yeah, “edge out”? Seems a stretch. Warriors only lose if they beat themselves or Rockets get away w/ all fouls. 

Da pioneer of Jawaiian music (Hawaiian Reggae) Butch Helemano - Wave Rider

That is awesome! Thanks for the new (to me) tune!

It’s Aloha Friday DUAN!

Sad to hear the news! No better trifecta of music than Marley, Strummer & Cash.

The Tantra Monsters - Crack House

Some of Michael Franti best stuff

Too funny. I also sometimes went to Kaiser & knew his sister. We may have to figure a way to talk offline

Back in the 80's Hawaii had a huge punk and metal scene. I was into both at the time but metal was my first love when I took up guitar and took lessons from this strange little metal head with long fingernails. His name was Marty Friedman and this is his first metal band - Hawaii, crappy recording but you will get…

Was that confucius or negrodamus that said that?

That Cookie Monster sure can rock!

My brother is over there but on slope of Mauna Loa, another volcano but much less active. All good other than air quality right now.

Hawaii’s biggest gift to music to me is Ki Hoʻalu or Slack Key guitar. Slack Key is an open tuning based style & many of these great players have come up with their own tunings. 2 years and 2 weeks ago, we lost the singer in this video, the great Dennis Kamakahi but the rest of these legends you can still see…
