Though many still have trouble pronouncing his last name and the
instrument he plays, Jake Shimabukuro (she-ma-BOO-koo-row) is becoming
recognize as one of the world’s top ukulele (oo-koo-LAY-lay) musicians. Renowned for lightning-fast fingers and
revolutionary playing techniques, Jake views the ukulele as an
“untapped source of music with unlimited potential.”
His virtuosity defies label or category. Playing jazz, blues,
funk, classical, bluegrass, folk, flamenco, and rock, Jake’s mission is to show
everyone that the ukulele is capable of so much more than only the traditional
Hawaiian music many associate it.
