Description

~ COUNTRY COMFORT ~ "Waimanalo Blues"

This song falls in the catagory of "contemporary Hawaiian music". That is, it is not traditional Hawaiian music. Traditional Hawaiian music is mostly heard at tourists spots. Contemporary Hawaiian music includes social commentary. This particular song is the way many Hawaiians feel about their land being bought and developed for commercialism with hotels littering their island. Native Hawaiians feel very sad in their hearts about the dilution of their culture that is near extinction. Through song many express the hopelessness. By the way, traditional Hawaiian music is great, too, and it`s not Don Ho.
