Hawaiian Island Music
Hawaiian island music is an emerging musical genre with laid back rhythms and upbeat lyrics. The modern Hawaiian sound includes island reggae, island R&B, and even pop and rock. Today's artists infuse their songs with a sense of island pride and reverence for the musical traditions of the past. When people think of island music, they often think of the reggae sounds made popular during the '70s. The Hawaiian Islands are home to a new breed of island reggae that mixes the feel-good vibe you've grown to love with dance beats and even urban undertones. Neos Productions is proud to present the reggae sounds of the most popular Hawaiian artists working today. Some of our more popular reggae CDs include "I Belong 2 U" by Norm, "The Dreaming Kind" by Justin and Bitty McLean, and our "Island Love Shack" and "Reggae in Paradise" compilation series. Island R&B is also popular in the islands. This sound is a hybrid of the smooth soulful sounds of classic and contemporary R&B mixed with the laid-back vibe of the islands. A steady bass line, keyboard and stringed instruments play behind the soothing vocals of Norm, Kekoa, Lehua, and Justin. Many of the top Hawaiian artists cross over into several different musical genres. Justin is known for singing soulful love ballads, and mixing it up with upbeat reggae dance tunes. Compilation CDs are great for getting to know the sounds of the islands. At Neos Productions, we offer a number of different compilation CDs. Our best selling compilations include our "Hawaiian Style," Island Love Shack," and "Reggae in Paradise" compilation series.
