Keaumoku Louis
Keaumoku Louis was born on January 14, 1888.
We lost him at the age of 95, in March of 1983.
He has been known as Albert Ke’eaumoku Louis, and Louis Ke’eaumoku Amoy.
In any event, when he reached the mainland, he changed his name from Ke’eaumoku to Keaumoku by dropping an ‘E’ to make it easier for mainlanders to pronounce.
In Los Angeles, he was one of the 1st artists to record electronically in 1925 for Victor Records rather than with the previous horn-to-stylus method.
So we’ll dive into our 78rpm records archives to hear some of his classic recordings.
Today, almost 90 years later, we’ll share this classic music.
