The Spirit of Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar

Slack key guitar has been the music of Hawai'i since the 1800’s. Traditionally played in island backyards, slack key has come to represent Hawai'i as a true folk art form and is now known and enjoyed around the world.

At the weekly Masters of Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar Concert Series on Maui, Hawaii’s best musicians gather to play this unique style of music. This is the fourth collection of songs recorded live at this show. 

The first three albums won GRAMMY awards for Best Hawaiian Album: Masters of Hawaiian Slack Key
Guitar, Volume One
(2006), Legends of Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar (2007), and Treasures of Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar (2008).

The concert series continues at the Napili Kai Beach Resort in West Maui..

In this fourth album of live music from the shows, we present a compilation of more music by the islands’ most famous musicians, masters of the art of slack key. Also included are tracks featuring two other beloved
Hawaiian musical traditions - falsetto (Richard Ho'opi'i) and steel guitar (Bobby Ingano).
