The second source supports the nonsensical bit, that many were written by non-Hawaiians is cited to an offline source, but makes sense so I will AGF. Seems good to go, well written, new enough, no copyvio PARAKANYAA (talk) 02:14, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Examples?

Hi and congrats on today's DYK placement! I think this article would be improved by listing a few notable examples of hapa haole songs and artists, since it seems to be a fairly small genre with a handful of notable entries. Do you think this would be appropriate? I know that since there is substantial overlap with other Hawaiian music, such classifications could be contentious. Still, I think it would be helpful? Or maybe it's already covered well by the "History" section? Interested to hear your thoughts.

A few I found from the What Links Here and related pages... Songs:

On the Beach at Waikiki (1915)
My Little Grass Shack in Kealakekua, Hawaii (1933)
Sweet Leilani (1937)
Beyond the Reef (1949)
Mele Kalikimaka (1949)
I Killed Captain Cook (2023)

Hello, I think that's a great idea and I will probably get to adding it sometime in the next week or so. Thanks for the suggestion! Kimikel (talk) 13:33, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
