Cultural Soundslides from around the Region

[urbanguy]

Here are a couple of Soundslides that i've found that are really cool from the Honolulu Advertiser. Every so often they create Soundslides of different events or what have you from around Honolulu.

If you have links to other Soundslide Galleries like these please feel free to post them. I'd like to see more of festivals, events or other cultural related stuff from the places represented in this forum. They are short but really interesting to look at, great photography too.

Here's one of last years Eid al-Fitr in Honolulu

What is Eid al-Fitr? Eid al-Fitr is the celebration that ends the month of Ramadan. Ramadan, the celebration of Muhammad's transmission of the Quran, is marked by daytime fasts. It is one of the five pillars of Islam faith.
