Song Lessons • 11m

Here’s a song that I first heard from Palolo. The song goes further back than that, but for me it was a Troy Fernandez thing. I make no bones about the fact that Troy Fernandez is a big part of why I love Ukulele. Lol. So here’s a fun one to jam with friends!

    Here’s one of my favorite Hawaiian songs. My Grandpa, who was Kawai Cockett’s guitar player used to sing this song all the time. If you get a chance, look up the lyrics on Huapala.org and read the translation. Draw your own conclusions as to the subject matter! LOL

    Here’s one of my favorite Hawaiian songs. My favorite version is Kimo Hussey’s version. While we’re not doing his version here, we’re still keeping true to the old style and playing a fun rendition of A’oia. Hope you like this one as much as I do.

    I grew up listening to island music. The sound has embedded itself in my heart. Here’s a song that’s sure to bring an islander to a sense of nostalgia - Nightbird from Kalapana. If you grew up in Hawaii, you probably still know all the words even if you haven’t heard it in years.
