Does anyone know some really traditional and modern day Hawaiian music?
I’m looking for both traditional and modern day Hawaiian music! I’m having a luau and I want it to be really authentic. If you know any good reggae as well I would love to hear about it! THANK YOU!!

Iz has great albums. So does Keali’i Reichel. There is lots of them out there, check in the Hawaiian section, it is a combination of old with new.

For traditional I suggest Isreal Kamakawiwaole, Makaha Sons, Keali’i Reichel, Gabby Pahinui, Denis Pavao, Na Palapalai, Ho’okena, and Hapa. For a more modern local style of music, try Willie K, Ekolu, Sean Na’au’ao, Pound for Pound, Three Plus, Darrel Labrado, Fiji, and Robi Kahakalau. Good reggae, check out Jr. Gong (Damien Marley- I love ‘Welcome to Jamrock’), UB40, Rebelution (‘Attention Span’ and ‘Safe and Sound’ are my faves), Kymani Marley, Collie Budz, and of course the king, Bob Marley.
EDIT: Wow, I went to school with Daniel (Danyo). Never thought I’d see someone mention him on here. Kapaa High, c/o 2003.

Look up Israel Kamakawiwaole, Keali’i Reichel…
And I suggest the song “Fish and Poi!”

You’ll really like Justin Young’s song “One Foot on Sand”. I think you’ll also like “Ke Aloha No Waipi’o” by Tapa Groove & Weldon Kekauoha. iTunes has an “Essentials” list called “Hawaiian Music” with a fairly solid pedigree.
I was going to recommend a good compilation album from about 5 years back, but it’s out of print. Ooo! But the sequel is available for purchase from mele.com. This is a good representative sample, and you can listen to samples at the first link below.
I live on the Most Hawaiian Island of Molokai, and I’d venture to guess that what we consider to be an authentic luau over here would not be recognizable to you as a luau. So, forget about authenticity, and just have fun!
