Ukulele Underground

Member video of the week 7/27/09

This week for our MVOW we feature messyhair and her just posted cover of Emil Chau’s “Ai Xiang Sui”

Sounds like a really fun and chill song to play on the ukulele. The tambourine and low harmony adds a little cherry on top of this already awesome performance. Overall, she looked like she enjoyed herself. Check out her YouTube channel for more cherries and awesome performances.

The video and song shows us that the ukulele and all its awesomeness is past that language barrier. It can be enjoyed by anyone in any native tongue. No longer is it limited to traditional Hawaiian music or your typical “Hapa Haole” tunes. Music is definitely universal and breaking all sorts of barriers. It’s only a matter of time till we get the first ukulele in outer space! Wouldn’t that be awesome?

Hopefully your summer is just full of peaches. Let’s kick this week off right and rock out with your uke out.
