Another Nakamura Takeshi YouTube!
Since this video was published in 2011 it's gotten almost 350,000 hits. Take a look and you'll understand why. Nakamura-san's technique is flawless, his rhythm is amazing and it's just overall an interesting composition. Recently there's been so much hype over young players who play fast but without much soul. I'd love to see more Japanese players start putting some of themselves back into their music and get away from the pyrotechnics! |
When it comes to the ukulele, outside of Hawaii Japan is where you can find some of the best arrangers, composers, performers, and instructional materials! I'm an amatuer ukulele player who happens to be fluent in Japanese. For many years Japanese have kept their passion for the ukulele burning strongly and not surprisingly, some of the best instructional material, performers (pros and amateurs), and instruments can be found there. Now you can find it here!
