Kilima Hawaiians is a Dutch band, which got started by Bill Buysman in 1934 as "Kilima Hawaiian Trio". In 1936 he was joined by his wife Mary Buysman.

Музыкальный материал получился соответствующий: тягуче-атмосферные инструментальные треки, балансирующие на грани экспериментального джаза, дарк эмбиента и построковой меланхолии, представляющие собой сплав электроники и живого звучания, механики и органики. Первый альбом коллектива вышел в 2006 году на Planet Mu. Кроме того, Кёнэн и несколько...
