Last night we got to see a performance of Hawaiian falsetto singing, featuring Aunty Genoa Keawe, a 2000 Heritage Fellow of the National Endowment for the Arts. From her bio:
"A mainstay on the Hawaiian music scene for almost 50 years, Aunty Genoa Keawe is an icon in Hawaiian music. With her tremendous voice she has captivated audiences, kama 'aina and malihini alike. With a tremendous repertoire of traditional Hawaiian standards and Hapa Haole tunes alike, she is without equal. "
Afterwards I bought one of her CDs and received an 8x10 photo that I had Aunty Genoa sign for me.
