Performed on an acoustic steel-string guitar with open tunings and
a finger-picking technique, Hawaiian slack key guitar music emerged
in the mid-nineteenth century. Though performed on a non-Hawaiian
instrument, it is widely considered to be an authentic Hawaiian
tradition grounded in Hawaiian aesthetics and cultural values. In
Listen But Don't Ask Question Kevin Fellezs listens to Kanaka Maoli
(Native Hawaiian) and non-Hawaiian slack key guitarists in Hawai'i,
California, and Japan, attentive to the ways in which notions of
Kanaka Maoli belonging and authenticity are negotiated and
articulated in all three locations. In Hawai'i, slack key guitar
functions as a sign of Kanaka Maoli cultural renewal, resilience,
and resistance in the face of appropriation and occupation, while
in Japan it nurtures a merged Japanese-Hawaiian artistic and
cultural sensibility. For diasporic Hawaiians in California, it
provides a way to claim Hawaiian identity. By demonstrating how
slack key guitar is a site for the articulation of Hawaiian values,
Fellezs illuminates how slack key guitarists are reconfiguring
notions of Hawaiian belonging, aesthetics, and politics throughout
the transPacific.
