Ku'u Home (Old Plantation)
We recently received this request from the island of Maui: ["Dear Mr. Soria: I am the great granddaughter of Rose Tribe, the singer & ukulele player from back in the early 1900's. It is my understanding that you may have some of my great grandmother's music in your collection. Could you feature a recording of her on Territorial Airwaves? Also, what station on Maui carries your show? I used to love to listen to it when I lived on O'ahu. Mahalo, Rynette "Ipo" Keen ]
We are so pleased to honor Ipo's request by sharing an early Columbia recording of Rose Tribe playing ukulele and singing "Ku'u Home", (Old Plantation), composed by David Nape & Mary Jane Montano. We share, too, the portrait of Rose Tribe that Ipo sent us. Rose Tribe lived from July 15, 1890 to February 18, 1934, and is credited as one of the earliest Hawaiian female falsetto voices recorded. Also, our "Territorial Airwaves" radio show can be heard on AM940 in real time, or on demand at either www.am940hawaii.com or www.hawaiian105.com. See you on the radio!
