Hawaiian music is a very important part of the Hawaiian culture. In the ancient day, chants and songs, or “mele,” were used to tell tales and myths from generations past in the absence of a written language. Today, the importance of music lives on through the voices and words of dozens of different local artists and entertainers. From the traditional Hawaiian sounds of drums to the more contemporary slack key guitars and ukuleles, local music has been adjusted to people of different tastes.

The musical duo The Brothers Cazimero is one of the most popular groups in the islands and is comprised of Robert and Rolan Cazimero. Robert plays the bass while Roland plays the twelve-string guitar. During their career, they have received twenty-five Na Hoku Hanohano Awards and were also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Hawaiian Music Album in 2005. There famous melodies and music have been heard around the world. Accordingly, the group has become an ambassador of aloha and brings smiles and cheer to a variety of venues throughout the islands and the mainland United States. Singing with the likes of Henry Kapono Kaaihue, Israel Kamakawiwoole, and Crystal Pahinui, the Brothers Cazimero have continued the Hawaiian legacy of stories through song.
