James Hill ( a young No.1 ukulele player who is expected to rival Jake Shimabukuro as a super ukulele player ), Taimane Gardner ( a ukulele prodigy from Hawaii ), and many more ukulele players from all over the world! The ukulele was originally brought to Hawaii by Portuguese immigrants in the late 1800s. The history of the ukulele began when the king of the time loved the sound of the ukulele and introduced it to the music of his court. For nearly 50 years since then, the ukulele has been the most popular instrument not only in Hawaii but also in the mainland U.S., and has created a new era for itself. However, in the 1950s, with the advent of the Beatles, the ukulele was overtaken by the electric guitar as the mainstay of the ukulele scene. The ukulele, with its beautiful and gentle tone, was gradually forgotten. Time passed in the 21st century. The ukulele has begun to shine again. A new generation of ukulele players has emerged one after another. The ukulele is now being fused with contemporary music such as classical, punk and hip-hop to create a sound that is full of originality. Ukulele is no longer a toy. The ukulele is undergoing a revolution all over the world!
