Kudos to editor A. Kam Napier and Honolulu Magazine for widening the scope of their annual music issue to include genres besides Hawaiian.
Reggae got heavy props with mini-features on THC, Irie Souls, Humble Soul, Ooklah the Moc and Sahra Indio. Hiphop nods went to DJ-XL (the only DJ mentioned), EMIRC and Amphibeus Tungs. Linus, The 86 List and Go Jimmy Go also got mentions, as did many more artists across genres from world to jazz to classical.
It’s our third annual music issue. In previous years, we’ve brought you the best and brightest from the local Hawaiian music scene. But we didn’t want to overlook the talented Island musicians working in genres other than Hawaiian. In the following pages, we introduce you to 22 acts who are writing and playing all kinds of great music, adding an unmistakable local flavor to jazz, rock, classical, hip-hop and more.
Nice to see local music of all sounds and stripes in local media.It’s funny tho, because it’s like they skipped Hawaiian music this year in favor of everything else. Why does it have to be all one or the other?
Honolulu Magazine was also a title sponsor of the 2nd anniversary of Skyline party earlier this month. Congrats to Flash and Matty Boy for their ongoing swank skank in the delux party penthouse in the sky.
