- Hawaii Calls was a radio program broadcast live from Waikiki Beach from 1935 through 1975 that reached 750 stations world-wide at the height of its popularity. It featured live Hawaiian music by an 11-piece dance orchestra conducted by Harry Owens, the composer of "Sweet Leilani". The show selected the best musicians and singers, with the purpose of showcasing what authentic Hawaiian music is like when played by native performers, but with one major difference—the lyrics were sung in English and intended for white audiences. Hawaiians called this hybrid with English hapa haole (half-white) The show was first heard in the U.S. mainland over short wave radio, but by 1952 it was carried over station KGMB in Honolulu. The show had no advertisements but, because of its positive portrayal of Hawaii, it received a subsidy for many years—first from the government of the Territory of Hawaii, and then from the State of Hawaii. It was broadcast each week, usually from the courtyard of the Moana Hotel on Waikiki Beach but occasionally from other locations, and hosted by Webley Edwards for almost the entire run. Al Kealoha Perry was musical director for thirty years, 1937–1967. Ray Andrade was a charter member of the Harry Owens Royal Hawaiian Hotel Orchestra and became one of the first vocalists on the Hawaii Calls radio show. When the show came on the air, listeners were convinced that they could hear sound of waves pounding on the surf. According to historian Lorene Ruymar, they were likely hearing the alternating sound waves on their radio sets; but host Webley Edwards picked up on it, and he began opening every performance by holding the microphone out toward the ocean proclaiming, "The sound of the waves on the beach at Waikiki" over an alluring steel guitar background.

- ハワイ・コールズ（英語: Hawaii Calls）は米軍放送網（AFN）で1935～1975年に放送されたハワイの音楽を中心にしたラジオ番組であった。通常、ハワイ州ホノルルのワイキキビーチにあるモアナホテルの中庭で、波の音と共に実況中継されていた。日本でも米軍放送網がFENの名称で放送されていた時代に、1950～70年代前半の毎週金曜日の夜8:05-9:00に放送されて、ハワイ音楽が日本でも人気を高めた理由のひとつになっている。 (ja)
