Early Hawaiian music had a head start. The earliest found Hawaiian recordings are from 1908, there are lost 1899 and 1905 recordings. The first Jazz recording was in 1917 and Blues in 1921. There were earlier “American Music” recordings that weren’t commercially available as Hawaiian music was.
donʻt recall who to attribute this to, but Hawaiian music tells the story of long gone people and places that we still love.
