For almost 15 years, the Aloha Festivals sponsored a wonderful Hawaiian male falsetto contest.
Originally hosted by our pal, Frank B. Shaner, it was later co-hosted by Karen Keawehawaii and yours truly.
As more of our younger Hawaiian traditionalist artists approach us to study, re-arrange, and re-record, we realized that it must be time for our Falsetto Festival Follies.
Today, we’ll share rare recordings of Hawaiian male falsetto vocalists.
