Bring out an ukulele and smiles will suddenly appear! Just the sight of an ukulele makes you feel happy. You can’t help but anticipate the joy, charm & whimsy that’s going to come out of that little four-stringed instrument. The ukulele is such a tiny contraption yet it is such an indelible emblem of Hawaii - a symbol of Hawaiian music, musicians, heritage & history. How fascinating and unbelievable at the same time is it that it can do everything that a guitar or a banjo can do! Legends of the Ukulele not only showcases the talents of 20 true Hawaiian master players but also showcases a variety of musical styles with its 22 remarkable songs, including one world premiere! These are the ukulele greats! A 12- year old whiz, a 94-year young master who played at the opening of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel in 1927, and so much more. The talent and musicianship of these artists is stellar. Amazing, beautiful, fun & sensational all wrapped up with four little strings! A must buy for ukulele lovers, ukulele club members & Hawaiian music fans alike.
