I realized at our last meeting of Ukuleles of Paradise that a lot of folks have only a minimal knowledge of Hawaiian music. It’s just not something they’re familiar with or have heard much (if at all!). To help remedy that, I’ve written a very brief primer on the topic, “Learning About Hawaiian Music” and I have posted it in the Files section of this site. The article includes a (brief) summary of what you might hear in Hawaiian music as well as an abundance of links for online Hawaiian radio, vintage recordings, places to listen to/purchase Hawaiian music and even an online site where you listen to traditional songs and speak Hawaiian while you play along on your ukulele!
While you’re in that section of the site, you may want browse around and see what other files you might be interested in. I created most of these for members of the local ukulele group to help answer questions or as topics for a future meeting.
