The music of Hawaii, which is located in the Pacific Ocean, has strong Polynesian and European influences. Portuguese and Spanish sailors and vaqueros, cowboys brought instruments that are now very popular, such as the guitar and the cavaquinho. The cavaquinho became the ukulele. One of the most popular styles is Hawaiian slack key guitar. Dancing Cat Records specialized in this typically Hawaiian guitar style.
Appalachian music is greatly influenced by English and Celtic, Scottish and Irish ballads, religious songs and African American music. Musical genres in the southern Appalachians include old time, bluegrass, Gospel and country music. The most common musical instruments are the fiddle, which came from the British Isles and Ireland, the banjo, which is of African origin, and more recently the guitar, which is originally from Spain but has become widely used internationally.
Polish, German, Slovak, Czech and Hungarian immigrants who settled in eastern and central Texas during the late 19th century brought their native languages, music and dance traditions and instruments with them. Polkas, waltzes and obereks blended with older reels and quadrilles already popular with Texans. The introduction of the accordion opened up new possibilities and generated the creation of new hybrid musical forms. Polkas are played by Tex Mex conjunto acts and western swing bands. Central and Eastern European immigrants who set roots in the industrial North brought polkas and other popular dances with them.
