Now that Hawaii's music has a chance to shine worldwide with it's own Grammy catagory, I'm just wondering..... what happened to the talented artists we had way back in the 70's and early 80's?
Groups like: Olomana,Kalapana.C&K, Country Confort,and the Sunday Manoa all did original music that are classics today. They didn't just "reggaefy " a "cover'' of a mainland hit made 20 years ago and sound no better than your average wedding band. They were "true" atrists . I 'm not saying they is no talent today,it's just that so many artists go the easy way to just put out a record.
For those who remember HOMEGROWN, this was a showcase to discover new & original talent... I miss it.
