Aloha,
I am looking for information on how I go about getting permission the process of obtaining to use hawaiian songs from artists so we can put together for a project that we are doing. Anyone that can help us would be greatly appreciated.
Mahalo,
Kuuipo

Assuming you know which song, by which artist, on which recording...

Look on the album's liner notes for contact information -- either record label or distributor. Contact them and ask for help getting permissions.

Sometimes this is easy (for example, you want to use Keali`i Reichel, singing one of his own compositions); usually, you will have to follow a twisted trail from singer to composer to whoever owns the rights to that composition now.
