Music of Hawaii (mp3s)

definitely, i read it was the most popular music in america before the war (it was here in england in the 1930s, something not recognised at all, here)

Without it, slide guitar wouldn't have entrenced itself in american popular music.

i haven't heard it, but there is a lot of chaffe in regards to Hawaiian 78s due to the widespread popularity during the time. there's a nice Hawaiian influenced song on Old Hat's comp Good For What Ails You: Music of the Medicine Shows, 1926-1937 entitled "Jimbo Jambo Land" done by Shorty Godwin.

ha, a familiar story, twas ever thus

from what i understand the influence comes from mexican ranchers coming to Hawaii around the 1830s, which might suggest a link between the Hawaiian style and Tejano.

definitely would have to a northern mexican style since dats cattle country.

felix mendelsohn was interesting, reputedly(?) a great nephew of the composer, he was responsible for bringing a lot of players to england in the 30s, and was very succesful here, but after the music's popularity plumetted postwar, he died in poverty and obscurity.

i'm not sure if the stuff i posted is the same kinda stuff you're posting gareth. from the few tracks you posted before, they were more in the country blues style

― Mad SETI (jaxon), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 17:35 (twenty years ago)

when was the guitar introduced to hawaii, was it by the portuguese?

i like the native drum and chanting music (i don't know what it's called, they play it at the polynesian cultural center).

Hawaiian music was really popular in parts of West Africa, too, and an influence on guitar-based highlife and such.

should i start a western swing one next? i presume others here like that stuff too?

― terry lennox. (gareth), Friday, 21 October 2005 18:39 (twenty years ago)

gareth, you should check out http://www.propermusic.com/

i bought two 4 cd box sets for $20 each. i got a bluegrass one and a gospel one (unfortunately it's almost all acapella jubilee groups - while good, kinda gets old after a while).

anyways, i'm pretty sure they have a western swing box
