Jawaiian Music
Jawaiian music became popular in Hawaii in the early 1990s. The sound evolved from Jamaican reggae music when bands began introducing Hawaiian references into their reggae songs. This new twist on an established favorite became extremely popular with young local music fans. With its danceable beat, Jawaiian continues to capture the hearts of island music lovers and remains a significant genre in today's island music scene. One of the most popular Jawaiian music stars of today is Bruddah Norm who's sound incorporates soulful singing with island beats in the backdrop of a distinctly reggae vibe. If you want to sample his work, we suggest his anthology album called "The Best of Norm." If you want to sample other Jawaiian artists, go directly to the source, Neos Productions. For several years now, Neos Productions has been producing and exposing island inspired reggae and contemporary Hawaiian music to the rest of the world. The "Island Love Shack" series from Neos Productions offers a great introduction to Jawaiian music, featuring artists like Bruddah Norm, Pati, Hawaiian Time, Justin, B.E.T., and many more.
