Here's a dumb question...

Is it still considered Hapa Haole if they're singing in Hawaiian and not English. Stylistically what exactly separates "Hapa Haole" from traditional Hawaiian folk music ??

Also is there a reason why "Hapa Haole" is usually referenced with Tiki culture/history and not the more traditional Hawaiian music ?? Is the latter considered too authentic ??
