Manhattan Hawaiians
The Hawaiian music craze of the 1920s and 1930s, fed by the rising popularity of both traditional and hapa haole Hawaiian songs, featuring the ukulele and the steel guitar, along with falsetto singing and hula dancing, resulted in many talented Hawaiian entertainers migrating to Hollywood, California during the period.
A few would eventually travel all the way across the country to New York City.
The employment opportunities included performing in hotels, restaurants, and nightclubs, as well as record compny deals and acting in Hollywood movies.
Some Hawaiians would stay in Hollywood, but a few would eventually go to the Big Apple of Manhattan, New York City.
For this show, we’ll focus on music performed by ambassadors of Hawaiian music who opted to continue on from Hollywood to Manhattan during the Golden Era of Hawaiian music, before WWII.
From 90 plus years ago, we’ll share this memorable music.

Lani McIntire - B sides
The terms A-side and B-side used to refer to a two-sided phonograph record. The A-side was usually the featured song that the producer hoped would receive radio airplay and become a ‘hit’. The B-side, or flipside, was a secondary song, or a song thought less appealing to radio announcers.
For this show, we’ll continue a mini-series, focusing on songs that were thought to be B-sides when released.
