Sunday from 12-5:00pm, you have the chance to kick back and relax at the 19th Annual Hawaii Slack Key Guitar Festival at the Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort & Spa. From the Festival website: "Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar (ki-ho'alu) is a truly one of the greatest acoustic guitar traditions in the world. Ki-ho'alu , which literally means "loosen the key," is the Hawaiian language name for the solo finger picked style unique to Hawai'i. In this tradition, the strings (or keys)" are "slacked" to produce major chord, or a chord with a major 7th note, or sometimes one with a 6th note in it. Each tuning produces a lingering sound behind the melody and has characteristic resonance and fingering.
Many Hawaiian songs and slack key guitar pieces reflect themes like stories of the past and present and people's lives. But it is the tropical surroundings of Hawai'i, with its oceans, volcanoes and mountains, waterfalls, forest, plants and animals, that provide the deepest source of inspiration for Hawaiian music."Food and drink will be available for purchase; no outside food or beverages will be allowed. Make certain to wear a hat and bring an umbrella for shade. Free admission.
