HOLO HOLO PANIOLO - The Vaquero's Hawaiian Story

DVD by Susan Jensen & Paul Singer


Part III of the Vaquero DVD Series. The Hawaiian cowboys inherited a rich history, originating with the vaqueros of Alta California, when it was still part of Mexico. The filmmakers take you to many of the ranches across 5 islands, the places where wild cattle that inhabited the volcanic slopes of Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea were chased down. Catching them demanded great horsemanship and uncommon bravery. This courage under fire is the birthright of the paniolo and prevails to this day. This very engaging film also features great interviews with original Paniolos and their music in the slack key guitar style.
