About

Welcome to a very special corner of the internet.

What happens when a Hawaiian music blog ditches traditional island music for the urban sounds of the 1970s, 1980s and beyond?

Welcome to Aloha Got Soul.

Founded one summer in 2010 by Roger Bong after listening to DJ Muro’s Hawaiian Breaks mix, the website has quickly become the top destination for Hawaiian funk and soul. Roger dedicates his efforts to reviewing, sharing, interviewing, and rediscovering Hawaiian artists.

Aloha Got Soul adds a unique dialogue to the history of the music of Hawaii.

  1. I appreciate all you’ve done on this website. I am the eldest daughter of one of your featured artist: BABADU! Mahalo for your kind words of expression in regards to my father’s music.
