![]() An important sub-genre of Hawaiian music for this article is known as hapa-haole, or 'half-white'. I, therefore, use a broader definition in which the term Hawaiian music is used to describe a quite wide spectrum of music which has as common ground use of songs, melodies or instruments linked to Hawaii. This music, probably mainly a percussion-based, polyrhythmic form for tribal and religious purposes, has got little in common with what we today call Hawaiian music.

However, the presence of Hawaiian songs in his home-recordings shows us that Elvis actually liked this kind of music very much. From 'Harbor Lights' in 1954 to 'Hawaiian Wedding Song' in 1977 the influence of Hawaiian music is found in his music both recorded and performed live, although admittedly not as permanently as e.g. There can be little doubt that Elvis loved Hawaiian music. both as an influence on various forms of popular music as well an artistic and commercial force of its own. From the early 20th century Hawaiian music or Hawaiian-inspired music was present in the U.S. However, one very distinct style has always been omitted from this list: Hawaiian music.
