Oh, goody! It’s time for another Monday Hawaiian music giveaway!

This week’s music giveaway CD is The 50 Greatest Hawaii Music Albums Ever. The record company, Mountain Apple, describes this CD as follows:

In June 2004 HONOLULU Magazine put together a panel of experts and named The 50 Greatest Hawai’i Music Albums Ever. From those great albums we’ve selected the greatest tunes. Tracks like Olomana’s “Seabird,” The Brothers Cazimero’s classic, “Nani Hanalei,” and Na Leo’s incomparable “Flying with Angels.” This album is a must for any Hawai’i music collection. Whether you are a hard core Hawaiian music fan and collector or brand new to the Hawaiian music scene, this is an album that is a must have!

I should note that this not actually 50 albums or even 50 songs, but a collection of songs that represent the best of the top 50 albums. It’s quite an eclectic collection.

From my Hawaiian Music Q&A with Mountain Apple Records Executive, Leah Bernstein recommends this CD for anyone who is interested in learning and listening to a broad range of Hawaiian music.

For a chance at winning this CD, please comment to tell us where is your favorite place to listen to Hawaiian music. Enter your comment either here on this blog post or on this facebook post by the end of the day, March 23, 2011.

  1. My favorite place to listen to Hawaiian music is lying
    in the hammock in our back yard…..
    Many thanks, Cindi

  2. Ideally, my family loves to listen to Hawaiian music cruising around the Big Island in a convertible. But we settle on listening at home to remind us of island memories!

  3. I love to listen to Hawaiian music driving in the car. I live in Virginia and also do it on long trips. Reminds me of my previous vacations and why I am planning to go again this year. Love it. Saw Willie K. on Maui last year and that was a great show.

  4. My favorite place is in a van heading up to the top of Mt Haleakala for sunrise before biking down! What perfect way to set the mood. One of the best experiences ever!!

  5. In my armchair as we pore over travel books, planning our first trip to Hawaii in July to celebrate our 20th anniversary!

  6. My favorite place to listen to Hawaiian music is in my den in the winter with my eyes closed to the raging blizzard outside. The music transports me from cold, blustery Maryland to Hawaii for a time. If I imagine real hard, I can almost feel the warmth of the sun and soft breezes skimming over me.

  7. While on the elliptical machine at the gym, takes me away to my favorite place to be!

  8. Mahalo for sharing all your examples of where you like listening to Hawaiian music. I could listen to it anywhere.

    Between the blog and facebook, I numbered the entries and used random.org to select a winner. This time around a facebook entry won.
