George Kuo — “Slack Key Hula” George in his element, bringing the old style to the mainland. In this live performance of “Slack Key Hula,” George showcases that signature resonance known as the "double slack" sound. He plays with a steady, driving rhythm that serves the hula dancer perfectly, yet his touch remains light and nahenahe. It feels like a masterclass in the genre: grounded, joyful, and deeply connected to the roots of the music. “Slack Key Hula” is a standard that celebrates the marri

🌿🎸 Ray Kāne — “That’s Slack Key Guitar” with Aunty Diana Aki — “Honaunau Paka” A true Kona pairing: kūpuna slack key and a beloved voice from Kaʻū. In this clip, Ray Kāne holds down the kī hōʻalu chair with his gentle, nahenahe touch while Aunty Diana Aki steps forward to sing “Hōnaunau Paka.” His guitar moves in that unhurried, rolling way he was famous for; her vocal rides on top, full of warmth and the storytelling style that made her “the Songbird of Kaʻū.” It feels more like you’ve been i

Shortly after the Seattle Slack Key Festival, Dennis Kamakahi sits down with a 1968 Martin D-18 and does what he always did best: lets the story and the slack key speak.
