Abstract | The purpose of this instrumental case study was to examine the musical and cultural underpinnings of the Kanikapila Island Strummers, a community 'ukulele group that celebrates Hawaiian ethos through music and dance. Specifically, this research underscored the Kanikapila Island Strummers' musical practices, the narratives of Hawaiian culture as expressed by club members, and the members' perceived sense of responsibility in preserving and disseminating Hawaiian customs in the Continental United States. Data collection included participant-observations, interviews, video recordings, and photographs. Predominant themes encompassed inclusive music making, Hawaiians' connection to and separation from the islands, and acculturation processes on the mainland. While Hawaiian cultural elements have engendered a rich community of practice, Hawaiian history and sovereignty initiatives remain key aspects among participants. Implications include viewing the 'ukulele as a serious instrument that is as much about a people and a place as it is about music. (As Provided). |
