I began working with Michael and Maryanne Cord in 1991.
Our dream was to take recordings from Territorial Airwaves archives, restore them using newly developed state of the art computer technology, and release them as compact discs, for all Hawaiian music enthusiasts to enjoy and learn.
We felt that the music must once again be heard, and that the Hawaiian music community would appreciate it.
And we were right!

37th Annual Territorial New Years Party
As the old year was ending in ancient times, Hawaiian kahuna associated with certain He’iau on the Western side of each inhabited Hawaiian island would watch for the appearance of “Makali’i”, a store cluster that appears in the evening sky.
Once “Makali’i” was seen, the next moon would begin the “Makahiki” season, a 4-month period when warfare was prohibited, and people celebrated with games and sports!
When Westerners arrived with their tradition of the New Year’s celebration, it coincided with the Hawaiian practice of makahiki!
For this show, we’ll focus on recordings of New Year’s music.
Join us as we share favorite recordings illustrating that “Territorial New Years” type of Hawaiian music.
