Hawaiian Music What is

Music Laboratory Research-Genre Study-Ethnic Music-Hawaiian Music Research -> Genre Study -> Ethnic Music -> Hawaiian Music What is ethnic music? What element distinguishes an ethnic music style from other ethnic music styles? For example, what is the difference between Okinawa music and Scotland music? I think elements of music are (1) melody (scale), (2 ) chord, (3) rhythm, and (4) instruments. First, let's think about melody. Rock and Blues are easy examples, even though they are not ethnic music. Rock uses normal music scale while Blues includes blue-notes in its music scale. Next, think about chords. Rock uses simple chords (triad) while Jazz includes 7th in its chords. Chord progression of Jazz is more complicated than that of Rock as well. For rhythm, Rock uses 8 beat, Fusion uses 16 beat, Jazz uses 4 beat. Finally, think about musical instruments. It is easy to see differences between Classical music and Rock music. Especially, musical instruments are important elements of ethnic music, since each country has different music instruments. I am trying to capture features of each ethnic music style based on this idea, and to reproduce them with automated composing system. This page includes considerations that I faced when I embedded functions of ethnic music composition. About Hawaiian Music I am not sure that people consider Hawaiian music as ethnic music. But the music has very strong characteristics. Hawaiian music uses very slow sliding guitars and ukuleles. Guitar strings are tuned for major chord. (This kind of guitar is called slack key guitar.) So, Hawaiian music uses many major chords in its chord progression. I am not sure but I guess guitarist uses bottle neck and scratch strings with it. (I need more information,please help me.)

Kimo's Restaurant - Lahaina, Maui Restaurant T S Restaurants Home | California Restaurants | Hawaii Restaurants | Guest Comments | Restaurant Photo Gallery About T S Restaurants | Restaurant Maps & Directions | Buy T S Sportswear | Contact Us ©2005 T S Restaurants of Hawaii & California ~ Hawaii Restaurants ~ California Restaurants Kimo's A Lahaina Landmark The very first T S Restaurant, Kimo's opened along Lahaina Town's historic waterfront in the spring of 1977. The restaurant and bar has since become a Lahaina landmark, featuring an oceanfront setting, reasonably-priced cuisine, the original Hula Pie, and spectacular sunset views. Located at 845 Front Street, Kimo's captures a unique mix of Lahaina's heritage in its decor. The upstairs main dining room reflects the architectural influence of New England on the former whaling port, with koa-lined walls, missionary-style furnishings, and maritime memorabilia. The downstairs waterfront lanai and bar offers a more Hawaiian-style ambiance, with teak tables and chairs, umbrellas, swaying palms and a mast complete with maritime flags. Voted "Best Meal on Maui" by Honolulu Advetiser readers and "Best Bar" by Maui News readers, Kimo's continues to be a favorite of residents and visitors alike. The menu features fresh Hawaiian fish, seafood, prime rib and island favorites. Cocktails and a lighter menu are served on the lower lanai. Offering stunning sunset views of the islands of Lanai and Molokai, Kimo's also features nightly entertainment. It is a must when in Lahaina, making your Maui vacation complete.
