is there now a Hawaiian-language pop-music culture? And if so, could you please tell me who would be a good artist to whom to listen?
I'm aware of older styles like slack-key guitar and also ukulele music as well as older songs like Aloha 'Oe, but left Oahu in 1973. So, I am way, way, way out of touch.
