The Waikikis - Merry Christmas In Hawaii

The Waikiki's Christmas album, with a superb lounge feel via Hawaiian, is reissued in a 2-in-1 version. This is a masterpiece of paradise music. The Waikikis, a Belgian instrumental band led by Joe Van Wetter, are best known for their 1964 hit Hawaii Tatttoo, a hidden gem that is definitely worth a listen for fans of Santo & Johnny, Gonchichi, and others. A number of Christmas standards are accompanied by the sweet sounds of steel guitar, evoking scenes of Honolulu far, far away. The 1963 Christmas album, which includes all of the songs as bonus tracks, is also a must-have, and both albums should be listed as one to play casually at the end of the party.
