Lucas, thanks for bringing this topic back up. After watching the links you posted I started poking around to find out what it is. I suppose most of you know, Hawaiian style women's falsetto. Google and youtube sent me on a wonderful journey through decades of these great artists. While most falsetto tries for a smooth transition from the normal vocal range to falsetto, Hawaiian accentuates the break, seems sung in Hawaiian usually, creating a music from my memories that seems most Hawaiian (though an Alpine art brought through a Mexican filter to a Polynesian land). I suggest you all take this journey on your own. :)

aloha, tikicoma
