Slack key guitar music developed in the 1800s in Hawaii. Its history is rich and somewhat mysterious, as slack key was influenced by the many people who immigrated to Hawaii then, including English-speaking North Americans, Mexicans, Portuguese, Filipinos, Puerto Ricans, Tahitians, and Samoans. And it was was originally private and family entertainment until people started recording the music onto vinyl records after WWII.
