Dutch band, which got started by Bill Buysman in 1934 as "Kilima Hawaiian Trio". In 1936 he was joined by his wife Mary Buysman. They had their first recordings in 1941, which made them already quite successful in a very short time. In 1942 bass player Wim van Herpen joined the trio and the band changed name to "The Kilima Hawaiians".
Under this new setting they had their greatest moments of success, during the late 1940s and 1950s. They got back into the picture in the late 1960s when they were exclusively signed by CBS/Artone. In the meantime some new artists joined the band and some band members left and were replaced by new people. Their last release with original work came out in the 1970s. Afterwards only compilation albums with previously recorded material got released.... Here's their Tropical Breeze album, not sure when this one came out...
