Learning to sing in Hawaiian is challenging, but fun. We found a tutorial on pronouncing the words. So far we've learned Pua Hone fairly well. Out video is posted in the Videos forum here in UU.

Two good YouTube channels for learning to play and sing Hawaiian songs on the ukulele are Steven Espaniola ([video]https://www.youtube.com/sespaniola[/video]) and Harry Koizumi ([video]https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC46MiPxDyxySKeiNNtY1Nvw[/video])
 
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?

I have purchased more than a few CDs, many of which you would be hard pressed to find elsewhere, from this site:

you can also peruse the nominees for Na hoku hanohano awards, often called the Hawaiian grammys

Pre-show starts at 5:30.

Taimane is performing with her band and up for an award. I've never seen it, so I'm interested in tuning in!
