Episode description
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.
