This Is Book’s Music

The late Genoa Keawe released loads of albums in her lifetime, but it was the albums she released in the 60′s and 70′s that influenced countless singers (both male and female) in Hawaiian music.

Luau Hulas (or Genoa Keawe Sings Luau Hulas was released by Hula Records and became a staple of every luau, baby shower, and weekend listening session. If you go to Hawai’i and find a station that plays old Hawaiian music, or any mainland show that specializes in Hawaiian music, 9 out of 10 times they will play Auntie Genoa, and this will be one of many albums to choose from.

I’m curious to know if any Hawaiian transplants who became truckers on the mainland rocked this cart in their 18-wheelers.

Australian producer Chasm has an album due out on October 23rd called Move, and it will be on Obese Records. Here’s the first single from the album, featuring Vida Sunshyne. To hear more, click here.
