It was called Jawaiian when this genre of music came out. It has evolved to Island Reggae over time, but old school listeners like myself know it as Jawaiian

[@nauahosivi8394]

Thank you for your reactions and supporting Iam's journey. Finally now he is THE AMERICAN IDOL 2023. Mahalo!

[@FYoung-di9bi]

He was having fun. Makes him feel like he's in his ZONE. But we have a saying in Hawai'i. "You can take the boy out of the islands, BUT you can't take the islands out of the boy" this is so true for Iam🏖😎🏄

[@TheDayna355]

On point 🤙🏽🤙🏽🌺🤙🏽🌺

[@noe_lani_808]

Just goes to show that Iam will never forget his roots .&. where he came from.

[@watsonmuaau483]

You can tell the band was enjoying it good reaction brother 💯🔥🔥

[@joshual7145]

It’s called Jawaiian. It’s basically Hawaiian island music mixed with reggae style. Bob Marley was a huge influence with the island music vibe.

[@WookieeStomper808]

This is correct. Aloha from Maui 🤙🏼

[@joshual7145]

@@WookieeStomper808 🤙🏼 Right on, I’m from Maui too.

[@vee6769]

Never heard that. Nothing to do with Jamaica lol it's just our culture. Polynesian and that's why I said it's Island music. Lol Jawaiian my muli 😂😂🤣🤣

[@vee6769]

Maybe only in Maui. Lol cheeeehooooo

[@tb5124]

@@vee6769you telling me you don’t hear a reggae influence?

[@christinefreitas6109]

Kolohe kai. That was their first album that they came out with. Really good artists in Hawaii.

[@jnak974]

I never in my life thought I’d hear Kolohe kai on American Idol. I freaked out when Brother Nolan’s song was on Pineaple Express.

[@stephanietambaoan7644]

I love how you could not help but start bopping your head seconds into the song.. haha. Perfect song for the finale, he looked so comfortable, in His element and having so much fun. Great review!

[@phredroq]

Late 90’s we called it Jawaiian (Jamaican Hawaiian)but now we call it Island Reggae.

[@tb5124]

Kinda weird name given Jamaica is also an island lol

[@phredroq]

@@tb5124 I think its because there are lots of band out of other Pacific Islands like New Zealand where you have bands like Sons of Zion, Katachafire, Sammy J, etc.

[@NamesRissa]

In Hawai’i we call this style of music “Jawaiian”🤙

[@VeisiniaLelea-od9wm]

Thank you for your reaction and supporting Iams and his journey.

[@DaFluffyOne808]

When Iam did “Don’t Let Go” on the Hawai’i homecoming that style was island reggae. But this is what we call “Jawaiian” Reggae!! Yessah! Ouuuaaa!!!!

[@cherylecaneda9457]

There is a video out there with the original singer kalohekai who saw iam sing his song last night he was stoked 🤙😎🥰

[@mariotexeira3918]

Check out Kolohe Kai. One of my favorite songs from them is called Paradise. But they have many really good songs!!

[@ce7768]

Did you see his homecoming compilation. It was so special how Hawaii showed up for him. Surprised you don't have it with this video together..

[@hennahiralal4232]

Yessah...perfect summer hit! ❤😅🇸🇷

[@forme3h]

Hawaiian Reggae/Island Reggae, Influenced and inspired by Jamaican reggae.
