I just completed my Carribbean Collection (Well...not really), and I'm looking for some good Hawaiian music. Anyone out there have any ideas? I have some Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, Teresa Bright, and Hapa.

Check out IZ, he is awesome, does a great cover of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and Collin Rayes "In this Life"

How about helping me with my Caribbean collection? I need some good steel drum music among other things....I have nothing right now

I don't know if you want traditional Hawaiian music, but I have always loved Alfred Apaka. He was inducted in 1995 into the Hawaiian Music Hall of Fame, although he died in 1960 at the age of 41. Besides songs like Sweet Leilani and Hawaiian Wedding Song, he had a couple of other songs I remember that I like: "Keep Your Eyes on the Hands" and "Hula Cop Hop".

Check Ka'au Crater Boys and a group from New Zealand called Toa. Also Iz is good.

I have the 1992 self titled CD and I play it quite a bit. Really beautiful music.

IZ is great, he is a very beloved figure in Hawaii; we lost him not to long ago.
