Here is some Polynesian music recorded before it was improved by electric guitars, caucasian songstresses, and Webley Edwards. For myself I like the lap-steel sound that was introduced years later. Link in comments.

Hawaiian Favorites - 1957

America sure seemed to be in love with Hawaii after World War 2. As a young paperboy I saw a lot of living rooms with Hawaiian themes. By the way, the model on the record jacket isn't authentically Hawaiian - she's more like the music inside.

This interview happened before the movie was released. The lads are quick and chipper and funny and there are still six of them. The have a lot of fun here and don't seem to anticipate the Church Of England s***-storm that would soon arrive.
