Hawaiian themed disco. What music?
I've a 2 hour "hawaiian themed" disco coming up in a care home next week.
Anyone have any suggestions for what music to play?
Think I'll try and dig out my old hawaiian shirt for this one!

There is a fella who plays a ukelele and does a version of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" (cant remember his name), Elvis "Rock A Hula Baby" and you might get away with "Wipeout" by The Surfaris.

Have a look here - Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole
There's always the Hawaii 5-0 theme music too.

I'm wondering in Reggae would work (I know it's not Hawaiian, but it's beachy)

You have never watched Spongebob then.
Aloha is what I know it as, which is probably what the guests will think of.
Also is slack guitar or kī ho`alu (I looked that bit up).
This is like the israil dude. I prefer this to the slide guitar stuff tbh.
Its just Ukaleli music really which is quite fashionable everywhere now (i.e. Noah and the whale)

Probably but thats a completely different ocean/sea
I would question it definitely if Bob Marley started playing, but would the average guest??
Something like Small Axe is a great track with background music and may fit in, but I would want to keep it authentic.
In terms of tracks to party too - its just not the type of music you do that, although I gather its gone a lot more hiphop and reggaeton in recent years, but people think of Hawaiian music as the above. I would probably start off hawaiian and then see how it goes as guests will probably want to dance to stuff they know. i would stack up the despacito, hips don't lie, ricky martin, lambada, santana, gasolina, wild thought, danza kudro etc. Personally I would say its caribbean / hawaiian influenced if you don't have enough stock of tracks that people know.

A senior coconut does a few covers which are "tropical", only a handful are any good though IMO.

Spotify throws up a few left field ones, including Pachelbel's Canon by Aloha Oe Hawaiian Music.
This would get some laughs. Jhonny Aloha (I assume a take on Jhonny ola from the Godfather)?
