Many of you know that I used to host a podcast – and, later, a radio show – devoted to primarily out of print and rare Hawaiian music. Last year I revived this concept in the form of a blog, and I got so busy maintaining it that I failed to tell my friends at taropatch.net about it. (In the last two years I have already written more than 100 articles and posted more than 25 hours of Hawaiian music audio.)
Ho`olohe Hou (Hawaiian for “to listen again”) discusses the music and entertainment scene in Hawai`i for the more than last 100 years. In posts that can be read in five minutes or less – with accompanying audio clips – I tell the stories (and, often, some relatively obscure facts) of the musicians and songs that brought Hawaiian music to international prominence. In recent days I have told in serialized articles the stories of Alvin Kaleolani Isaacs, Charles K.L. Davis, Helen Desha Beamer, Kui Lee, George Paoa, Sonny Kamahele, Ray Kinney, Alfred Apaka, George Kainapau, and Mona Joy. I am currently in the middle of a week-long tribute to singer/songwriter Lena Machado, and the following week will find a week-long tribute to Genoa Keawe. There are items in my vast archives that exist nowhere else – many given to me by the artists themselves to preserve and some (in the last 15 years) which I personally captured live on my many visits to Hawai`i.
Sometimes the blogger is lonelier than the Maytag repairman. I would appreciate it if you would stop by and share your thoughts on this music. The easiest way to find Ho`olohe Hou is on Facebook:
https://www.facebook.com/hoolohehou
If you “LIKE” the page and click “Get notifications,” Facebook will notify you whenever there is a new post and sound clips. I have been averaging 2-3 posts a day.
If you’re not a Facebook user, you can find the same content at the original blog website:
http://www.hoolohehou.org
I would really appreciate your time and participation in these conversations. Thanks for taking a look and a listen. Mahalo!
