DA GABBY TEE (BLACK)

The late Gabby Pahinui was one of the great 20th century masters of Hawaiian vocal, slack key and steel guitar music–a true working class hero. Gabby was a brilliant self-taught musician whose musical influences were the big band and jazz music brought to Hawai“i to entertain the tourists at the Waikiki hotels and spilling over into the surrounding streets and bars in the district where he grew up and the traditional Hawaiian music favored by his native community.

His ability to master any stringed instrument coupled with his bright falsetto that became raspy with age and guttural deep tones made him a unique fixture on the Hawaiian music scene. Gabby’s was the raw, plaintive, earthy and powerful “under-the-stars” backyard music of Hawai‘i.
