Two generations of Hawaii musicians teamed up on a new track built around advice from the late island reggae legend Fiji — a feel-good story for local music fans.

• Roman De Peralta of Kolohe Kai wrote "Keep Jamming" around words Fiji told him in high school: keep the rhythm going no matter what.
• Fiji died last year before they could record it, and the song was nearly shelved for good.
• Instead, younger local artists Wavvy took over Fiji's verse, keeping his words in the track.
• The music video passes the song hand to hand through Hawaii music figures — Henry Kapono, Kenny Boy, Danny Kennedy and others — ending with a young boy who represents the next generation.
• The pitch to kids: put down the phone and pick up an instrument, whether for a career or just for fun.

Outlook: The song and video are out now, with the collaboration likely to lead to more shows together.
