General Information
Description
Raymond Kaleoalohapoina?oleohelemanu K?ne, was one of Hawaii's acknowledged masters of the slack-key guitar. Born in Koloa, Kaua?i, he grew up in Nanakuli on O?ahu's Wai?anae Coast where his stepfather worked as a fisherman. K?ne's style was distinctive and deceptively simple. He played in a number of ki ho'alu tunings always plucking or brushing the strings with only the thumb and index finger of his right hand. He also played hammer-ons and pull-offs in a unique way; his finger moving up and out, instead of down and in, after striking a string. He emphasized that one must play and sing "from the heart." He was never flashy or fast. In Hawaiian, his sound is described as nahenahe. In 1987, K?ne was honored as a "National Living Treasure" by the National Endowment for the Arts with an NEA National Heritage Fellowship.
