The music style of the native Hawaiians is combination of song and stories. While each story had hidden messages of ancient and religious themes, the culture's job of passing down these stories to new generations keeps most traditions so vividly alive. As to do with the nature worshiping of Hawaiian culture, most songs are about the landscape and way of life on the island. These songs involve chants, musical instruments and dance. Some of the Older instruments of the island were mostly made from plants shells and trees. An example of an ancient instrument would be two "Gourd" sticks being struck together,and conch shells which were played as trumpets. A more recent type of instrument is a ukulele, it is know to be paired with the hula dance(a dance that is considered a more sacred ritual then a form of entertainment).
