"Sounds of America" Celebrates Music of Hawaii
In recognition of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, our "Sounds of America" streaming music series presents a program on the musical sounds and traditions of Hawai'i. Music has always been an important part of native Hawaiian culture. In early Hawai'i, mele (chant) with drums and dancing paid homage to gods and remembered the actions of powerful people. Later, immigrants from many cultures influenced native music and contributed to the development of new forms.
