Aloha From Europe (Music For Sunny Place, vol. XVII)
Hello everybody, hi all! This is Karel and radio Manzerock is on the air.
Let's take a trip in the 30-50's. That was when Hawaiian music really spreaded all over the world, including our motherland Europe.
The early traces of Hawaiian culture in Europe lead back to the late XIX century. That was when lots of music ensembles toured Europe. Some of the artists, like "Bird of Paradise" show, presented exotic sounds of Hawaii island.
Soon, European ensembles began to include Hawaiian themes in their repertoire and put them on records. Today we'll listen to just a couple of them, just to give a clue what it looked like in Europe.
I can comment just a few artists presented here. But if you have more info, please let me know!
One of the most popular Swedish steel-guitarists Yngve Stoor from Sweden recorded his selfwritten "Sjømannsjul på Hawaii" in 43.
Russian singer Ivan Milovidov recorded the song "Hawaii" in 33, with John Danker on steel-guitar.
German vocal ensemble Comedian Harmonists recorded this version of "Blume von Hawaii" with Marek Weber orchestra back in 31.
And that’s all I can put in here. Most of these records are from the 30s. The last three are 50s recordings for sure.
Have a nice trip!

Hello Karel! I would like to get your permission to publish in my blog Yayo Salva Musical your disk-rarity Baby Gate (Mina) in a future, when I will start to upload my collection of Mina vinyls. I think it is a fundamental introduction. Of course mentioning your link and marvellous rarities blog.
Thank you in advance.
Cheers

Wow, great, rare tarcks! :)
By the way, the first steel guitar in Europe is possibly the one played by Joseph Kekuku.
Jo was a guitarist in the "Bird of Paradise" show. That show toured Europe from 1919 to 1927!
And thanks a lot for the good playlist!
