Picture
Background:
T.T. Cafe is the combined talents of Takashi Nakamura (Guitar, Uke, Bass Uke) and Tatsuko Kaneda (Banjo, Uke, Vocals).  This duo is so good that at the 37th Ukulele Festival they shared the stage with Herb Ohta and James Hill.  Their repertoire is truly global and includes their own arrangements of Bossa Nova, Swing Jazz, and Hawaiian tunes.  Nakamura-san has also published music books (see our store) and has recorded on the acoustic jazz guitar.
