Club Nisei - biography

     Imagine post WWII with its huge population of Americans of Japanese Ancestry and their immigrant parents. Sometime in the early 1950s, the post WWII climate had cooled down and it seemed all right for Japanese-Americans in Hawaii to try and get back in touch with their cultural roots. This music by Club Nisei, Hawaii’s first Nisei orchestra to begin performing following WWII helped them to do just that. A fabulous Japanese romp through 1950s Hawaii!
