Entertaining Piece of Hawaiiana
This is the Christmas volume of the Cord International series of remastered vintage Hawaiian recordings from the 30s, 40s, and 50s. The three cuts by Genoa Keawe are wonderful Hapa Haola recordings -- pop songs of blended Hawaiian and mainland musical traditions and language. Janet Hilo does a quaint little sung story. The two cuts by Lucky Luck are Christmas stories told in slang. Not too interesting to me. The long item Santa Goes Hawaiian is a 15 minute story with pieces of song like Brian Wilson's Mt. Vernon and Fairway from the Holland album. It's a pleasant seasonal insight into Hawaiian culture told in a warm female voice. Kids at a certain age might love it. All in all, there is nothing slick about this CD; it's a sincere glimpse at Christmas in Hawaii.
