"On the Beach at Waikiki"
This is an excellent professional produced video for a group. The last 30 seconds are on booking information BUT it is so well done you don't mind that it's the sneakiest commercial. There's snippets of 20's and hula dancing too.
Aloooooha, Jeff. That's how we tourists say it, and
ReplyDeletethe locals egg us on. I have vague memories of
shows like this from the mid '50s when I lived over
there. I know, I know, that some people don't like
the hapa-haole stuff, say it's not really Hawaiian,
insults the culture, blah blah and blah blah again.
But this is what I heard then and I like this stuff
just as much as the so-called real stuff. The Islands have gone through the Hawaiian Renaissance, and the bands now play and enjoy
the good old hapa songs again. They even incorporate the silly faux grass skirts into their acts, because this music and the trappings that come with it are just plain fun.
@ POB, Inc. -- Thanks for sharing the GOOD STUFF!
