Suggestions of Excellent Hawaiian music?

There is a wonderful guitar player from Hawaii named Keola Beamer. One of the world's greatest custom guitar makers, Steve Grimes, has designed and named a guitar for Mr. Beamer.

Check Amazon and or a search engine like Gogle for more info.

At the moment, I am listening to Keola Beamer playing a duet from an album called Wooden Boat. Then Keola playing something from another album, Moe 'Uhane Kika on Dancing Cat. Both very good recordings.

I have a collection of Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar Masters on Dancing Cat Records, which is from their series. Most of the recordings are really good and the original albums are all referenced and pictured in the booklet.

Keola Beamer "Mauna Kea"
George Kahumoka "Drenched by Music"
Bob Brozman & Ledward Kaapana "Kika Kila"
James Bla Pahinui "Mana"

I have a promo samper with cuts from these albums and what's their is primo. The first one has a duet with George Winston, also very interesting. These are from Dancing Cat as well.

I agree with Drrasta. This CD is by Lead K.....and is excellent. The best all around music is by the Peter Moon Band.

Go to www.knba.org and get the live stream of one of the best radio stations in business. They play all kinds of music and I love the alternative stuff, acoustic cafe, and david dye's world cafe. In your case, listen to the broadcast a while as they play I believe on Saturday or Sunday morning from like 7 or 9am to noon a program called "Island style" This features Hawaiin music and they will have groups, bands, or individuals. I think it is a program you will enjoy/love
