Popspotting #90: Hawaiian Music Artists (July 13, 2011)
You want more music? You’ve got more music. This week, Jen highlights five Hawaiian music artists that have caught her ear lately. Fresh from the Na Hoku Hanohano Awards (Hawaii’s version of the Grammy Awards), we look at some younger acts with a bright future in Hawaiian music:
- Manoa DNA with Hualalai
- Natalie A‘i Kamau‘u with Ke Aloha
- Napua (Grieg) Makua with Nani ‘Ohala
- Mark Yamanaka with Lei Pua Kenikeni
- Kainani Kahaunaele with ‘Ohai ‘Ula
Of course, there are as many different kinds of Hawaiian music as there are colors in a rainbow. And the local music scene is always changing and evolving. It probably won’t be long until our next Hawaiian music show… but we’re betting you won’t mind.
