A proposito di questo titolo

This episode of The Little Grass Shack on 91.5 KUNV Jazz & More takes listeners on a rich cultural journey through Hawaii’s plantation era, where sugar and pineapple reshaped the islands and waves of immigrants from China, Japan, Portugal, and beyond laid the foundation for modern island life. Hosted by Island Emery, the program blends island music, Hawaiian history, and storytelling to explore how labor, food, faith, and community came together under challenging conditions to create today’s diverse Hawaiian culture.

Throughout the episode, Island Emery highlights pivotal moments such as the rise of sugar plantations, the arrival of immigrant communities, the birth of plantation-era foods like the plate lunch and manapua, and the lasting legacy of multicultural unity. Interwoven with classic and contemporary island music, reggae, and Hawaiian soul, the show celebrates resilience, aloha, and the power of shared traditions.

The Little Grass Shack continues to serve as a musical and historical sanctuary—where the mana of the islands lives on through sound, memory, and connection.
