	Music of Hawaii - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Hawaii's musical contributions to the music of the United States are out of proportion to the state's small size.
		Hawaiian music in general, which was promoted under the reign of King David Kalakaua as a matter of national pride, drew rhythms from traditional Hawaiian beats and military marches, and drew its melodies from Christian hymns and the cosmopolitan peoples of the islands (although principally American).
		Hawaii Hip Hop can be dated back to its first inception back in the early 1980s (though the birth of Hip Hop can be dated as far back as the early 1970s, originating in New York City).

	Hawaiian Music
		In addition to drums, the nose flute, its music and its context, is one of the oldest musical traditions in Polynesia.
		While some guitars may have made their way to Hawaii in the early 1800s along with the many European sailors who visited Hawaii, the origin of Hawaiian guitar music is generally credited to the Mexican and Spanish cowboys who were hired by King Kamehameha III around 1832.
		Because Hawai'i is one of the crossroads of the world, its music has always had many influences: Latin music from Mexico, Spain and Portugal; Polynesian music, especially from Samoa and Tahiti; European music and music from the Mainland, including jazz, country and western, folk and pop.

	Music of Hawaii
		She wasn't likely to hear any Hawaiian music, by choice; for her, and for many people born since the 'twenties, Hawaiian music is inherently embarrassing, and so cannot be played well enough.
		As well as the guitars, and a range of musical settings, from the classic small string bands, through various more or less jazzy combinations, to full size swing bands, there's a great deal of singing here, and when it comes to songs, this music has a built-in difficulty.
		But the international commercial exploitation of Hawaiian music has gone on virtually throughout its development, and the practice of writing songs in, or partly in, English is as old as the century.
