King Kamahameha Day On NS-NV

The hosts of Native Sounds-Native Voices (NS-NV) Tobias (Omaha, Dakota, Cherkoee, Navajo) and Aden (Rosebud Sioux) put together a compilation of awesome Hawaiian artists. They also recognized King Kamahameha Day which is a public holiday celebrated in the state of Hawaii. King Kamehameha was born 1758 and is credited with unifying the islands of Hawaii. In 2010, President Obama, proclaimed nationally that June 11 was King Kamehameha day.

Tobias and Aden featured various Hawaiian Native music on the show. They started with a traditional Hawaiian chant and continued with Slack Key Guitar and ended with contemporary music. Slack Key Guitar is a style that started out as instrumental but later included vocals. The playlist includes both styles and has a calming euphoric feel to it -- very cool and good for the soul.
