Back before the Hawaiian Islands were annexed by the United States, it was introduced to by Portuguese immigrants from the island of Madeira. The immigrants celebrated their arrival with traditional folksongs accompanied on a little four-string machete. In two weeks time, the Hawaiian Gazette was reporting about a band of Portuguese musicians delighting people with nightly concerts.
