New Hawaiian music from Italy

Post by Jim Watts »

Aloha Y’all- The local independent radio station in Tucson has an excellent Hawaiian music show that features a nice mix of contemporary, traditional and hapa-Haouli. A couple weeks ago they played a song by the Waikiki Leaks. Wow! These folks really know how to do it. New to me, I did a quick search and found they hail from Italy and have just released their first album. I was able to find all the songs on you tube. I don’t have the link handy but check out Waikiki Leaks. Mahalo amigos

Flavio Pasquetto (steel guitarist) isn't unknown around these parts as I recall!

As an Andy Iona partisan, I doff my cap to their tribute medley here:

They made it onto TA, too:

Waikīkī, at night when the shadows are falling
I hear the rolling surf calling
Calling and calling to me
