Slack-key Style


By George F. Lee, Star-Bulletin
Makana (a.k.a. Matt Swalinkavich), 23, appeared more like a rock
star than a slack-key guitarist during the 18th Annual Hawaiian
Slack Key Guitar Festival yesterday on the grounds of the Royal
Hawaiian Hotel. "Oahu Style" was theme of this year's ki ho'alu
fest. Below, Clement Aleka-Gorai of Kaneohe
managed to tough out the elements.
