Of those 37 records 5 are non-Hawaiian (plus one unaccounted for, discographically - Co 40008-D). Sol Hoopii, "King" Bennie Nawahi, Mme. Riviere, Keaumoku Louis and Queenie & David Kaili (an Australian/Hawaiian act wose masters were recorded in Australia) comprise the Hawaiian artists. The Nawahi material is made up of straight Hawaiian material and Bennie forgoes his regular jazz/vaudeville steel guitar style to play it straight.
