Music Monday – Occupy with Aloha

This isn’t a typical Music Monday clip but it’s pretty cool.

A Hawaiian slack-key guitar musician named Makana was asked to play at the APEC Summit as background during one of their dinners.  But, being sympathetic to the Occupy Wall Street cause, he wore an “Occupy with Aloha” shirt during his performance and also chose to sing a few protest songs.  (Read the YouTube description for more details about how this all came about and what the reaction was) which got him a few head turns and raised eyebrows from the assembled world leaders…
