Roger's blog is the reason I started going back through my dad's old records and made my youtube channel. What a great surprise to see this pop up this morning
Where have you been all my life? As a local boy who grew up in the 70's & 80's (who now lives in New Hampshire) this is the soundtrack of my childhood. Amazing! THANK YOU!
I lived in Hawaii for 7 years and I dont think I heard any of these songs even once, mostly just island pop/reggae (which I loved) but I had no idea stuff like this came out of the islands It has the same energy as a lot of the Japanese fusion jazz ive heard from the same era
I've given this about 4 listens in the last 24 hours, going on a walk to make it 5. This is fucking fantastic and I can't thank you enough for making this free and available to the public. Thank you so much. Mahalo.
Tracklist: 00:00 - Eddie Suzuki - Beauty Near Hanalei 03:35 - Kalapana - All I Want 07:45 - Steve & Teresa - Catching A Wave 11:15 - Momi - Another Side of Time 13:27 - Chucky Boy Chock And Oahu Brand - Walking In The Jungle 15:45 - Society of Seven - Between Hello And Goodbye 18:10 - Nohelani Cypriano - Lihue 21:09 - Mackey Feary Band - A Million Stars 24:10 - Brother Noland & Solbrea - Love Birds 27:52 - Aura - No Beginning, No End 31:42 - Studi-Yo - Studi Yo Theme 35:35 - Rockwell Fukino - Coast To Coast 40:04 - Waimanu - In Your Dark Eyes 42:52 - Hawaii - For Your Lady 43:57 - Aiko Sekiguchi - Fly With Me
The little blue 45 that could at 40:00 is an absolute rocket. I've enhance enhanced like a tech wizard from a 90s action movie, but the most I can get is 'Waimano Records' and 'In Your Dark Eyes'. An internet search reveals nothing. How is this track not well known? So good. Thanks for brightening my day, Mr Bong.
Roger Bong, consider me a fan. Hawaii was. Major part of my life, and you just sent me back to the island for an hour! Thank you so much 🙏🏾 My Analog Journal, as always I thank you for introducing me to new sounds moods and feelings!
Salute to Roger - I caught him 2 years into Aloha Got Soul when he got started in Hawaii...Amazing to see him keep pushing this sound across the globe. thanks the MAJ for putting this on!
Thanks for sharing this beautiful music! I went to Hawaii when I was 25, my first real big travel, and ever since I have yearned to go back there. Mahalo!

YESSS! Siqq set! Feels like this one's a long time comin'. Impossible to *not* get utterly swept away by these easy breezy golden groovers. And idc how many times I've heard "Lihue" in my life I will crank it and sway always ~
Checked out AGS for the first time this week and it was so dope to see all the Hawai’i records they curated and meeting Roger and the team! Such an awesome place and community!

Mahalos for flying across the globe to do this - Shaka.

And just to reply to myself I was surprised to not see Cecilio & Kapono
This right here is “Sunday vibes.” When Kalapana came on, it reminded me of the mix tapes my mom would make. Love this so much!
I'm chilling on Guam right now but this is making me want to hop on a plane to Hawaii!
This is excellent on so many levels! What a lovely feeling of Aloha funk.
