Jawaiian/Hawaiian Reggae

Jawaiian/Hawaiian Reggae (n.) [ˈʤʌˈwaɪən | həˈwaɪən ˈreɡ.eɪ]: The style and groove of classic reggae with a Polynesian twist that continues to flow in and out of the Hawaiian islands. The rich history that comes from the politically charged activism in the lyrics in Jamaica fuses perfectly with the ukulele’s and slack key guitar to emit the warm, easy-going, window’s down drive to beach music that is Jawaiian or Hawaiian Reggae.

What is The Subgenropedia?

Welcome to the Subgenropedia. Each week I, Alex Neill, will take a look at an unknown subgenre in the music industry, explore its history, learn its musical styles and influences, and discover some of the pioneers behind the music. From the depths of Central Africa to the cajun bijou of Louisiana, the Subgenropedia will take to music you never heard before
