Let’s Talk Story (feat. Israel Kamakawioʻole)

Many genres go through a boom and then a lull, but Hawaiian music—thanks in part to its originality—has managed to spark recurring waves of popularity over a long period.

The Hawaiian-style band that performs “Let’s Talk Story” is the group that helped ignite the Hawaiian music boom of the 1990s.

Their sound, which blends Hawaiian music into sophisticated urban pop, comes through clearly in this track, so be sure to give it a listen.

Hi’ilaweGabby Pahinui

Hi’ilawe

Gabby Pahinui, a Hawaiian artist who was hugely active from the 1940s through the 1960s.

Though known as a Hawaiian music singer, he also excelled as a guitarist and left many great compositions as a songwriter.

Among his works, a particularly chill track I’d like to recommend is Hi’ilawe.

It has a refreshing feel reminiscent of country music, and you can enjoy a laid-back vibe throughout.
