Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na.....Native!

Here's a little tidbit about Hawaii that they don't tell you in the guidebooks. The popular Hawaiian radio station, called Native FM at 95.9, repeats 5 reggae songs over and over in one day.

The most popular song, which you hear approximately 4 times if you're driving a lot in one day, we HVO volunteers call the "Brothers and Sisters" song. The chorus (the only part we can actually understand) goes like this:

Keep your culture/Bruthas and sistas/Keep your culture/...Polynesia!

The other 4 songs that they repeat aren't quite as redundant and there's even one that isn't reggae, but instead it's quite melodramatic and sappy. Someday I'd like to meet the DJ.
