GEORGE DE FRETES AND HIS HAWAIIAN MINSTRELS - HAWAIIAN HOSPITALITY

George De Fretes was born in Bandung ,December 23, 1921. From a young age he started to teach himself to play ukulele and Hawaiian guitar, by listening to records by Sol Hoopii and Andy Iona Long. In 1938 he formed The Royal Hawaiian Quintet, which became The Royal Hawaiian Minstrels one year later. With both this band and various other ones he continued to perform in Indonesia during the 1940s and 1950s. In 1958 the artist went to The Netherlands, where he reformed "Royal Hawaiian Minstrels" and the Krontjong band "Suara Istana". Both bands were very succesful during the 1960s. In 1969 the artist settled in Los Angeles, U.S.A., where he passed away on November 19, 1981.... Here's an album from him with his Hawaiian Minstrels....

THE ALL STAR ORCHESTRA - A FAR EAST FANTASY IN LATIN DANCE RHYTHM

Record producer George Ching began bringing Japanese bands to Hawaii after World War II when it was again acceptable for Japanese-Americans there to publicly reaffirm their ties to Japan. He released this imaginative album, originally titled "A Far East Fantasy In Latin Dance Rhythm," on his 49th State Hawaii label sometime in the late 1950s. The songs had been popular in the pre-1945 Japanese Empire or in areas occupied by Japanese forces during World War II. The arrangements reflected the Latin dance craze back then.... Great album! GET IT HERE enjoy!
