Calming Hawaiian music soothes negative behavior

1 min read

As visitors return, so can negative behavior. Calming Hawaiian music will be helpful in relaxing movements/mindset and reduce angst.

Kamakawiweola, Na Leo Pilimehana, etc; the music of Hawaii needs be played by businesses. Most visitors seek the "island effect" to soothe. They look to experience Hawaii, rather than a repeat from where they left.  

Loud obnoxious sounds discourage conversation and relaxation, and encourage excess alcohol consumption, which leads to negative behavior.

Hawaiian music is honored worldwide. Please, restaurants, bars, malls and markets: As in the past, play Hawaiian music for the mental and physical good of all.
