Hawaiian Music is in the spotlight for this week's music feature.  More specifically the transmission of Hawaiian music to Australasia, Indonesia and India in the period 1910-1930.

It's the subject of research done towards a PhD by Auckland based artist Andrea Low, and there are a surprising number of New Zealand connections to her story, not the least of which is the connection to Andrea's own family.
