Open tuned and gently plucked, slack key guitar is one of the most tranquil musical experiences. The notes roll like the waves around its native Hawaii. Keola Beamer's family has been prominent in Island music for more than a century. His wife Moana is a renowned dancer and storyteller. Grammy-nominated singer Raiatea Helm is a special guest.
