Catalogue information
Hawaiiian music in the Netherlands. Twenty years ago you regularly came across some Ukuleles, and fewer Steel guitars, at markets and fairs. Silent remnants of the Hawaiian Hausse from 1945 to 1950, The Kilima Hawaiians were the best known group and after 1945 got hundreds of imitators. The real musicians of Hawaiian music, in my opinion, were of course not these sugar-sweet Dutchmen, no they were Rudi Wiarata, and George Fretes, but I would have expected that! Here a green labeled 78er from 1941 on the Dutch Kristal label Also released in Germany on red labels and under Kristall with double LL. The Hawaiian boom started in Indonesia because of the easier access people in the South Seas apparently had to American music culture. In indo-rock a direct successor of this style, the same happened with the next generation, but with the new Rock "nRoll sounds from the USA. Hawaiian music became all the rage in the early decades of the 19th century under the influence of Joseph Kekuku. The distorted whining "Slack Key" slide sound of Joseph on a laptop guitar again had a major influence on the first blues guitarists to copy this around 1900 and 1910. For further information see the books "Haring en Hawaii" Lutgard Mutsears the general history 1925 to 1992 and "Wuivende Palmen" by Kees de Bakker (Kilma's) Only groups left http://www.pmouse.nl/ Joe
