visiting Hawaii (Maui) for the first time soon
and reading up on Hawaiian music
a little research so far yields:
Gabby Pahinui - The Gabby Pahinui Hawaiian Band Vol.1
Gabby Pahinui - Rabbit Island Music Festival
(both of which I've bought and love)
Keola Beamer - Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar In The Real Old Style
Keola Beamer - "Honolulu City Lights"
Roy Smeck - Plays Hawaiian Guitar, Banjo, Ukulele and Guitar
also, any recommendations for albums by following artists?
Makaha Sons / Israel 'Iz' Kamakawiwo'ole, Sonny Chillingworth, Keali'i Reichel, Willie K, Kekuhi Kanahele ?

I like that "FROM" is in all caps here, like the folks we mentioned on those OTHER threads were just faking the funk. You can't fool me, Tau Moe--you're from Philadelphia and we FUCKING KNOW IT.

huh? amateurist - it's only to differentiate from the FOR thread, which I see you found (y'know - actual Hawaiian music vs Hawaiian-inspired or tunes to bring there)
anyway, Roy Smeck above is only honorary Hawaiian, no?
also, I linked both earlier threads so folks didn't have to repeat (but could second, third etc) the great suggestions from yourself and others.

yes, was just rereading Unterberger re Merrell Fankhauser
and while we're on about Hawaiian connections - please, no one bring up 'Sky Saxon's shriveled[sic] cock' (oops!)
