Home of Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar
Ki ho'alu (Slack Key) is the name for the finger-style guitar tradition unique to Hawaii. First introduced the island culture by Hawaiian cowboys in the early 1800s, this evocative world music is characterized by a variety of tunings and the wealth of deep feelings each individual artist brings to the music.

We invite you to join us in our exploration of ki ho'alu, a major cultural legacy. Read more about Hawaiian slack key guitar.
