Check out "Pandanus" by Peter Moon. It's one of my favorite "tropical" 'ukulele songs. Other than that you might try looking up Troy Fernandez and his great album "Hawaiian Style 'Ukulele".
Everyone has different preferences....Like if you say what is the best tasting food?? go to You Tube and listen to a few...
What I like may not be what you like... If you say what are some top local or hawaiian songs...that would help...I like the old Kalapana....

I sort of met Andy Bumatai yesterday. He was MCing a show my band played at and he kept asking me how to say Uncle George Kahumoku's last name. I didn't realize it was him at the time...
There's some good stuff on here! Just about any Hawaiian song sounds good on the 'ukulele regardless of what the original instrumentation was.
