The
music of Hawaii includes an array of traditional and popular styles, ranging from native Hawaiian folk music to modern
rock and
hip hop. Hawaii's musical contributions to the
music of the United States are out of proportion to the state's small size. Styles like
slack-key guitar are well-known worldwide, while Hawaiian-tinged music is a frequent part of
Hollywood soundtracks. Hawaii also made a major contribution to
country music with the introduction of the
steel guitar.
