Music is essential to a successful Luau. It will help get everyone in the mood to party, dance and enjoy themselves.

Some of the most popular Luau music can be found in the album Drew's Famous Luau Party Music with songs such as such as Surfin' USA, Don't Worry Be Happy, Hawaii Five-0 Theme Song, Blue Hawaii and more. Drew's Famous Island Party Jams with various artists is also a great bet for your party. You should also have the traditional Don Ho Hawaiian Favorites, with songs such as Tiny bubbles and Pearly Shells.

For something interestingly different, try music by Israel 'IZ' Kamakawiwo 'ole. Some other great classic albums for your party could be Blue Hawaii by Elvis, Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar Masters, Best of Hawaii, by various artists, Hawaii's Greatest Hits by New Hawaiian Band, I am Hawaii by Hawaiian Escape, Taboo music of Hawaii by Arthur Lyman, Little Brown Girl, Hits of Hawaii and Cazimeros Best (all three of their albums). It should be mentioned that the Hawaiian slack key guitar is the sound most often associated with Hawaii and luaus. It is that dreamy sort of wandering melodious string instrument you might have heard in relation to Hawaii before. You might consider actually hiring a live instrumentalist for your luau - perhaps even a slack key guitarist. Now that would most certainly be the icing on the cake!

These tunes will all bring the authentic Hawaiian atmosphere to your Luau feast, which your guests will remember for years to come!
