  • The Pleasures and Rewards of Hawaiian Music for an 'Outsider'
    12 Living in Hawai‘i: The Pleasures and Rewards of Hawaiian Music for an ‘Outsider’ Ethnomusicologist Ricardo D . Trimillos Foreword I first met Stephen Wild at the 1976 Society for Ethnomusicology meeting in Philadelphia. Since that time we have enjoyed four decades as session- hopping colleagues and pub-crawling mates. In regard to the former, most memorable was the 1987 International Council for Traditional Music meeting in Berlin, where, appropriate to our honoree, one of the conference themes was ‘Ethnomusicology at Home’. It is this aspect of Stephen’s service that I celebrate in my modest effort for this festschrift. In 2006, the journal Ethnomusicology produced its ‘50th Anniversary Commemorative Issue’, which contained the essay ‘Ethnomusicology Down Under: A Distinctive Voice in the Antipodes?’ (Wild 2006). It was an informative and at times prescriptive account of the trajectory for ethnomusicology in Australia. I found the essay a most engaging exercise in personal positioning by an author within a historical narrative, one in which personality and persona were very much in evidence. Inspired by the spirit of that essay and emboldened by its novel approach, I share 335 A DISTINCTIVE VOICE IN ThE ANTIPODES observations about ‘doing ethnomusicology’ where I live—in Honolulu, Hawai‘i. This brief and personal account deliberately draws parallels with our honoree’s experiences and activities during a long career in his ‘homeplace’ (Cuba and Hummon 1993). The pleasures of Hawaiian music in California My first encounters with Hawaiian music were not in Hawai‘i but in San Jose,1 California, locale for the first two decades of my life.

  • Read Liner Notes Here
    LINER NOTES Martin Pahinui Ho'olohe One of Hawaiian music‘s most gifted vocalists, John Martin Pahinui has performed with a host of top performers, including his father‘s legendary Gabby Pahinui Hawaiian Band, The Peter Moon Band, The Pahinui Brothers, Nina Kealiçiwahamana, Bill Kaiwa and slack key super group Hui Aloha (with slack key guitarists George Kuo and Dennis Kamakahi). The youngest child of Gabby Pahinui (1921-1980) and Emily Pahinui, Martin grew up surrounded by music— not only the amazing kï höçalu (slack key) in his family home but also the many other styles floating on the wind in Waimänalo, where he grew up and still lives. Like many children of famous musicians, Martin is keenly aware of a double responsibility: to honor his family‘s musical legacy and to always be himself. ―My daddy is a very big influence on all of us,‖ Martin says, ―but he always did things his own way, and he taught us to trust our own instincts too. He loved Hawaiian music but he wasn‘t afraid to change something if he felt it was the right thing to do. Some people would grumble, but he‘d say, ‗So what, some people grumble no matter what you do.‘ He always said to respect the song and the composer and the people who taught you, but never be afraid to express your own feelings when you play.‖ Recently, when the local rap group Sudden Rush asked the Pahinui family for their blessings to use a recording of Gabby‘s classic rendition of Hiçilawe, Martin supported them.

  • Kulaiwi’ by Faith Ako
    Island Mele: ‘Kulaiwi’ by Faith Ako SEP. 29, 2013 | 0 COMMENTS REVIEW BY JOHN BERGER / [email protected] ‘Kulaiwi, My Beloved Homeland’ - Faith Ako (Faith Ako) Expatriate islander Faith Ako, formerly of Kahuku and currently a resident of the Bay Area, excels at doing Hawaiian standards in traditional nahenahe (soft, melodious) style. She does so here with beautiful arrangements of “Pauoa Liko Ka Lehua,” “Puamana” and “Poliahu,” and introduces three newly written songs as well. Two of the new songs are intended for folks who are fluent in ‘olelo Hawai‘i. “Na Pua O Ka La‘akea” is her “thank you” to the halau that encouraged her to record her first album. “Kawahine O Ka Po” is one of her favorite songs by avant garde kumu hula Mark Ho‘omalu. The third, “My Hawai‘i,” written by her nephew, Keenan Kanahele, is hapa-haole. It expresses the sentiments of everyone who has lived here, now lives elsewhere and misses the islands. Ako sings it with heartfelt conviction. The other English-language song on the album is a timely 50th anniversary remake of Roy Orbison’s 1963-vintage “B-side” classic, “Blue Bayou,” that shows Ako’s potential as a mainstream pop singer. Ako’s “Blue Bayou” could easily be the preview cut of an entire album of pop chart remakes. Adding Hawaiian lyrics to it, as Ako and her translator do, isn’t necessary but makes their version more than a straight remake of Orbison’s timeless song. Songs with ties to specific locations are an important and popular tradition in Hawaiian music.

  • Hawaiian Recordings in the Slack Key Tunings
    Dancing Cat Records Hawaiian Slack Key Information Booklet, SECTION V: HAWAIIAN RECORDINGS IN THE SLACK KEY TUNINGS This section includes a list of the most important (usually) available recordings by Hawaiian Slack Key guitarists in each of the 50 tunings in the CHART OF RECORDED TUNINGS- SECTION IVa, that have had songs recorded in them (the other 12 tunings in the chart that are closely related to another tuning in the chart, bur have not had any songs recorded in them are also listed here, for continuity). The following information is listed for each tuning (the number of the tuning coincides to its number in the tuning chart on page 34). Here are some particulars about this section: 1. Artists which have recorded a particular tuning are listed alphabetically under that tuning. 2. The titles of the recordings are in all capital letters; the record label and number, indication of whether the title is out-of-print (no longer commercially available) and information on whether the Slack Key artist listed is backing up somebody else are also indicated. If the song has another title, we will indicate this within parentheses. 3. Song titles are in italics and are separated by a semi-colon. Medleys have slashes between their component songs. 4. There may be discrepancies in the spellings of some of the song titles. For reference purposes, the titles in this booklet are spelled as printed on the recordings unless there had been an obvious typographic error on the album notes. 5. If a song is played in a key other than the key of the tuning or if the guitar is tuned noticeably higher or lower than the normal pitch the tuning is in, or if the guitar is capoed to a higher pitch, this will be indicated after the song or songs.

  • Slack Key Sub-Traditions
    Dancing Cat Records Hawaiian Slack Key Information Booklet, SECTION Ia: TECHNICAL ESSAY ON SLACK KEY SUB-TRADITIONS Table of Contents: 1. Bass patterns 2. Bass runs 3. Vamps 4. Partial chords 5. Ornaments 6. The using of different tunings - when two or more Slack Key guitarists play together 7. Playing all of the song (or a significant part of the song) in keys other than the key the tuning is in 8. Changing songs by making medleys, or by adding bridges, or by changing the melody of the song 9. Playing Marches 10. Using chord substitutions for Major chords and dominant sevenths, and minor keys These are some sub-traditions of Slack Key guitar playing: 1. The use of various bass patterns, with the thumb playing the bass notes on the lower pitched strings, and the other fingers playing the melody and/or phrases on the higher pitched strings (for normal right-hand playing). Slack Key guitar is a finger-style tradition with many tunings (as opposed to playing with a pick for rhythm guitar chords or for playing single notes, both generally just played in the Standard Tuning [E-A-D-G-B-E]). Six types of bass patterns that have been used are: (1). The popular and traditional alternating bass pattern (also called double-thumbing in Mainland America), where, for example in the G Major “Taro Patch” Tuning (D-G-D-G-B-D), the thumb plays the fifth or sixth string (depending on the chord) on beat one and beat three of the measure, and the fourth string on beat two and beat four of the measure.
