Thanks to the Internet, global shipping and sites like Bandcamp it's much easier than it used to be to get hold of recordings from regional artists and people without major label contracts. Even so, it's not always straightforward, particularly in cases where digital distribution hasn't been adopted or an older catalogue of work has languished as the artists have retired or died.
I occasionally hear about CDs people have picked up at small stores or music festivals in Hawaii but which are seemingly impossible to get elsewhere, of musicians who must surely have made recordings but fail to appear in searches. So, if you're from, in or familiar with the ukulele music scene in Hawaii, what are the rest of us missing? and how can we get hold of these treasures?
