About the Artist
Various

Product Description
**GRAMMY AWARD WINNING ALBUM** Ki ho'alu, or slack key refers to the altered tunings of the acoustic guitar that are unique to the musical heritage of Hawai'i. Slack Key Guitar Volume 2 was recorded in the heart of "Paniolo" (Hawaiian Cowboy) country where the slack key guitar style originated. This CD presents 10 extraordinary slack key artists, each with their own tuning and slack key style ranging from traditional to contemporary showing an evolution of this art form. Slack Key Guitar Volume 2 won the first ever Best Hawaiian Music Album Grammy at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards! It is the sequel to "Slack Key Guitar", a HOKU Award finalist and top selling CD on Palm Records.

5.0 out of 5 stars Maika'i Nui Loa!!, February 25, 2005

By	Haole Girl (Waikoloa) - See all my reviews

Beautiful~~ Soothing~~
What a thrill this CD won the Grammy for the first ever Hawaiian Music category. This CD features slack key guitarists who truly embody the beauty of all things Hawaiian. Their talent individually is incredible-- collectively it is mind boggling. If you've ever personally seen any of them play, you know what I mean. Slip this CD in the player, dim the lights, kick back and relax. Let these guys take over & you'll swear you feel the warm sun, hear the gentle waves rolling in, and see the beauty of the immense diversity of the countryside throughout the Hawaiian islands.
