Worldsound at SXSW #1

Yeah, I moved out here to Austin to kind of

See what the mainland is like.

It's cool, but

you know, there's not a lot of

Hawaiian kind of stuff out here, you know.

And, you know, I was walking down the road

and then all of a sudden, I heard

you know, some music

And I knew it was Hawaiian music 'cos

sounds like them, you know?

So I kind of took a closer look,

I came a little bit closer

And then I saw, uh,

the crocodile hunter.

He was... he told me that

he was a, you know some music

from Hawaii.

And you, know, I was like,

"Whoa! Yeah! Check this out!"

I, uh, kind of got familiar

with, you know, some of the guys.

He taught me some hula.

We had a few laughs.

You know, he was in town for

South By South West

which is like, you know,

super, fat, music convention

here in Austin.

It's pretty big here, it's like

almost one of the biggest in the US.

[singing]

I had no idea how good, uh

you know, Hawaiian music could be.

You know! I'm really, really keen on it.

They really, like, get you going!

You know!

They said they're with this company

called World Sound.

And they came over here, you know

to show everybody

you know,

what is like, new and hot

that's coming out of Hawaii, so.

[singing]

This is my store, you know

we just wanted to welcome, you know

World Sound and all of their, you know

Hawaiian artists.

Are you Kamakake'evekanake'ole?

It's really cool, you know, having

these guys come out here to the mainland

Can you sign this for me?

Sure!

I really love these guys, They sound so good.

One Right Turn and Oeanuhea.

I really like it, it's so nice.

I mean, that music, it

just really brought me back, you know.

It was amazing.

They're talented.
