Music From Hawaii
Music from Hawaii can be summed up in two words--Neos Productions. This record company has cornered the market when it comes to introducing the Hawaiian sound to people all over the world. Offering music from the islands in several different genres, including island contemporary, traditional Hawaiian, reggae, jawaiian, R&B, rock and alternative, the chart topping releases from Neos Productions are sure to please. The island contemporary compilation "Hawaiian Style Music," an instant success, debuted on the Billboard world music charts, and blazed a trail for other compilations to come. With 18 tracks of hits by artists such as Rising Tide, Ehukai and Kolea from the big island of Hawaii, Keali'i Reichel from Maui and Ka'au Crater Boys, Robi Kahakalau and Justin from Oahu, "Hawaiian Style Music" is packed with feel good island music. "Hawaiian Style Music Two" features hits from local artists as well as hard to find tracks like "Sweet Lady of Waiahole" from Bruddah Walter. Critics give strong marks for Marty Dread's "Another Day in Paradise," and "Rock Me" by the Mana'o Company. "Hawaiian Style Music 3" keeps the hits coming. Ekolu's chart topper, "Shores of Waiehu," Norma's smash, "Lonely," "Three Plus," "Mystic Man," and Kapena's "Okie Dokie Makou," are lined up with hits by Cecelio & Kapono, Pati, Ka'ala Boys, Kohomua and Reality.
