Album Notes
To determine "the 50 Greatest Songs of Hawai`i", Honolulu Magazine assembled a panel of 35 Hawaiian music experts in 2007....including musicians, producers, historians, promoters, radio DJs and programming directors, university professors, music retailers and more. Each was invited to share a ranked list of the songs which they felt represented the best in Hawai`i music. The results were tabulated, taking into account how many votes a song received, and how highly ranked it was on each panelist's list. The songs they named, spanned the generations...from the time of the monarchy, to present day.
50 GREATESTS SONGS OF HAWAI`I features classics by The Brothers Cazimero, Hapa, Emma Veary, Kalapana, Olomana, Aunty Irmgard Aluli & Puamana, Palani Vaughan, Amy Hanaiali`i Gilliom & Willie K....and Bing Crosby.
