Hawaiian Music Collection, then

Stevo's Hawaiian Music Guide - Featured CD: Gabby Pahinui - Gabby Gabby Pahinui - Gabby (Brown Album) Rating: Reviewed May 2001 by Stevo - See how our 'Coconut' rating system works below. Music Style - Slack Key If you do not have any Gabby Pahinui in your Hawaiian Music Collection, then you are missingout on one of the most admired and talented Hawaiian Artists of all time. Gabby is commonly referred to as the best slack key guitar player of all time. When you put on thisclassic CD from 1972, you will quickly understand why. Unlike other sites that review CD's, ourreviews tend to focus on CD's that everyone should have as part of their collection. Gabby certainly falls into this category. In fact, I believe that most Hawaiians willagree with me when I say every Gabby CD (including this one) is a classic and you will wantto pick up several. Gabby is more commonly known as the Brown Album . Its hard for me to say that itis my favorite Gabby Pahinui CD, because I love all the Gabby CD's and albums that I own.However, the Brown Album and the Gabby Pahinui Hawaiian Band Vol 1 certainlyrank as 2 of my most listened to CD's. The Brown Album contains many of Gabby's most recognized mele's. One of Gabby'smost popular songs is Hi'ilawe . This CD starts with an early rendition of this song recorded by Gabby in 1947 and ends with a version recorded in 1972. The 1947 versionwas Gabby's first recording at age 26. Hi'ilawe has to be one of most cherished Hawaiian mele's of all time. It picks me up whenever I hearthe incredible guitar strumming. Gabby's voice seems to capture the spirit of Hawaii. Even today when I hear Gabby's son, Cyril, play thismele I get chills. Cyril sounds a lot like his Dad. Wow, I am already on my forth paragraph and I have only described one song. You can see Ihave a real passion for Gabby's music. Some of the other classics on this CD include Luau Hula , He'eia , Lei Nani , and Ka Moa'e and several others that were recorded withthe legendary 'Atta' Isaacs and 'Joe Gang' Kapahu. You'll love the conversations between themat the end of Ka Moa'e . Gabby's sons Cyril, Bla, Philip, and Martin are also featuredon the CD. All share the incredible music talent of their father and have many recordings of theirown that are wonderful. One thing that you will quickly notice when you put on this CD is how it lifts your spirits.Gabby Pahinui slack key is spirited and fun. You can't help being in a great mood when you listento this CD. The way the Gabby, Atta, Joe Gang, and Gabby's sons blend their instrumentsinto perfect harmony is beyond description. It has to be experienced. Sadly, Gabby passed away in 1980, but through his CD's his music lives on. If you want to know more about Gabby, I would recommend Jonathon Wong's Gabby Pahinui Tribute website. The CD contains the following: Hi'ilawe-1947/Luau Hula Lihue He'eia Ka Makani Ka 'Ili Aloha Lei Ohu Royal Hawaiian Hotel - A wonderful rendition of this classic Keawaiki Leahi Wai O Ke Aniani Ka'ahumanu Lei Nani Lei No Ka'iulani Ka Moa'e Hula O Makee Hame Pila Hi'ilawe-1972/Aloha O'e This is a 5 coconut CD, a 'must' addition to your Hawaiian Music collection. This CDis available from one of the retailerson our Sources of Tapes & CD's page. How our rating system works 5 Coconuts - These CD's are must have CD's that every Hawaiian Musicfan should have in their collection. They are classics that you will play over and over for years. The quality of the music is excellent. 4 Coconuts - These CD's are highly recommended. Although they are not necessarily classics, most Hawaiian Music Fans will really enjoy them. 3 Coconuts - These are CD's that some people will love, but others will not care for as much. Overall, though, they contain good quality music and are a nice addition to your collection. 2 Coconuts - These are good CD's, but won't appeal to everyone. 1 Coconut - These CD's would only appeal to a small percentage of people...like the artist's auntie ;-) Because a large percentage of our e-mail are requests for CD recommendations,our reviews will typically focus on CD's ranked 4 and 5 coconuts, with a few 3 coconut CD's sprinkled in.

Read the full review Express Reviews Product Rating: Great for Families! by gia_artist ,Feb 15 '04 Pros: Views, proximity to beach, near Aloha Shell, everything in walking distance! Cons: Cabanas near the pool get full fast! Get there early to get one! Traveled here in August 2003, Loved this hotel, we booked through a travel site and were upgraded to an Ocean view for free upon arrival. The view of Diamond head is captivating! The hotel has undergone a huge renovation in 2001 and it is just beautiful. At night the torches light the beach beneath you and it is on the quieter side of Waikiki so it isn't as crazy as downtown sometimes gets. In my opinion it is a safer area too, at least it felt that way. The beach in front of the hotel is perfect for little ones because of the man-made barrier.

Hawaiian shirts (also known

American Textile History Museum - Exhibitions - Let’s Go Hawaiian! > Current Exhibitions > Past Exhibitions > Future Exhibitions January 31, 2004– June 20, 2004 Let’s Go Hawaiian! Hawaiian shirts (also known as Aloha shirts), have become the recognized symbol of this tropical paradise. The bold, colorful patterns illustrate the lifestyle, culture, flowers, foliage and heritage of the Hawaiian Islands. The American Textile History Museum presents a special exhibition, Let’s Go Hawaiian from January to June, 2004. It is a fanciful look at our fascination with Hawaii, its influence on mainstream culture, and a lighthearted exploration of the cult of the Hawaiian shirt. The exhibit tells the story of our enchantment with Waikiki through the exhibition of over 150 shirts from the 1930s through the 60s. The exhibit invites you to step off a cruise ship into a make-believe vacation in paradise. The illusion is supported by tourist memorabilia, maps, tropical scenery, and other artifacts representative of our notions of what Hawaii was and is. From early surfers, cruise ships and the burgeoning tourist trade to Elvis, the Beach Boys and Parrot Heads, the sounds, colors, styles and ethos of ‘Blue Hawaii’ will be resident at ATHM during the run of the special exhibition. Shirt #60 Long sleeves, spread collar Rayon, coconut buttons Green ground with yellow, orange, gray, and black Design: Whole and sliced pineapples Label: “MADE IN HAWAII FOR / The Liberty House / HONOLULU” The Liberty House was one of the oldest and most respected department stores in Hawaii, and they sold shirts produced by local island manufacturers. Shirt #66 Short sleeves, spread collar Rayon, wood buttons Yellow ground with white, blue, reddish brown Design: Vignettes of people, including hula dancers, ukulele players, surfers, King Kamehameha state; Hawaiian motifs, including flowers, leis, pineapples, palm trees; words, including “OAHU, OLOKAI, HAWAII, WAIKIKI, KAMEHAMEHA, HONOLULU, STATE OF HAWAII” Label: “Kuu-Ipo / MADE IN HAWAII” Shirt #126 Short sleeves, spread collar Rayon, coconut buttons Brown ground with yellow, blue, green, white, and gray Design: floral background with decorated ukuleles showing divers Label: “MADE IN CALIFORNIA / Westwood Casuals / KLEIN-NORTON CO.” Shirt #197 Short sleeves, spread collar Rayon, wood buttons Blue ground with orange, yellow, teal, green, brown, black Design: Vignettes of people, including woman with basket of fruit, woman with leis, hula dancers Label: “Kuu-Ipo / MADE IN HAWAII” Designed by Frank Macintosh for Matson Navigation Company, which operated cruise ships to Hawaii as early as the 1920s and 1930s. Macintosh created designs, including this one, that were originally used for menu covers on Matson ships and later adapted for shirts. Shirt #198 Short sleeves, spread collar Rayon, wood buttons Brown ground with gray, white, yellow, orange Design: Border print of fighting dragons and tigers Label: “Malihini / MADE IN / HAWAII” Shirt #213 Short sleeves, spread collar Rayon, plastic buttons Black ground with yellow, green, red Design: Leis No label Designed by John "Keoni" Meigs, one of the foremost Hawaiian shirt designers. Meigs created his own designs, as he did for this shirt, but he also adapted artwork created for other media, including Eugene Savage’s menu designs.
