And the Grammy nominees for Best Hawaiian Music Album are:
"Ka Hikina O Ka Hau (The Coming Of The Snow)," by Keola Beamer (Dancing Cat Productions). Beamer, a prolific singer-composer-musician from a fabled kama'aina family, is making his first appearance on the ballot.
"Hawaiiana," by Tia Carrere (Daniel Ho Creations). Carrere, a singer-actress, also is a first-time nominee.
He'iea," by Cyril Pahinui (Dancing Cat Productions). Pahinui, son of the legendary singer-musician Gabby Pahinui, also is a first-time nominee.
"Hawaiian Blossom," by Raiatea Helm (Raiatea Helm Records). This is her second nomination.
"Treasures of Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar," by various artists (Daniel Ho Creations). Ho, a musician and a producer, is a previous winner.
The awards will be Feb. 10 at Staples Center in Los Angeles, with CBS televising the event.
Will a slack key album win again? Does Tia Carrere deserve to be on the list, or does she just have that "name recognition" factor (which is my humble opinion on it)? Other thoughts and comments?
Please vote in the poll too!
