Kris Fuchigami - Europa (HiSessions.com Acoustic Live!)

[@rickbiala6074]

This is one of the greatest improvisation of Europa that I have ever encountered. Beautifully done. Love it.

[@edwinbongog449]

I’ve watched this over a hundred times already i can’t believe it hasn’t reach over a million views yet one of the best cover I’ve seen on you tube.

[@4cajun2c]

I agree, it is impeccably the best cover song and I'm 66 and have seen them 3 times!

[@kingvonn7976]

Hey now it has :)

[@richardcogbill6791]

It has now.👍

[@richardcogbill6791]

Yes. I've watched it more than a dozen times and sent it to both my ukulele and non-ukulele playing friends. This is just great talent and musicianship.

[@leonardmoonsamy6282]

Kris is brilliant

[@marycollia8914]

Absolutely love this musical rendition and I'm sure Santana would be too. I watch this over and over again and I still will STUNNING

This is so beautiful and the ambience, the nature...this is Musical Heaven on Earth.

[@mambamusic]

Carlos Santana, meticulously thumb-picked on four nylon strings with supreme agility & accuracy. You certainly are a great talent, Kris Fujichami. The backdrop mountainous green nature compliment the environmental acoustics and your natural skill on your instrument. You are much admired and respected. With humble gratitude for sharing your talent with us.

[@paulland3040]

One of my favorite songs for the last 40 years...and this version is unforgettable!

[@islandgirl9298]

I listen to you guys everyday to keep my sanity during these chaotic times

[@MrPatclark]

This dude is doing SANTANA on a ukulele!! And smashing it!!

[@noearmendariz]

So tru

[@johnieleequalls3964]

I could see doing a Hawaiian dance on this song the right move to do some slow hula

[@kentama5888]

Can't stop listening to this beautiful rendition. .

[@noelpatrick4936]

Simple amazing

[@andredemers69]

[@mitondo6123]

Great shift to electric guitar sound towards the end as you paid homage to Carlos Santana, without overpowering the earlier sound of the ukelele. Fantastic performance.

[@colleenbower3891]

God's gift to music.👏

[@unclejoe7958]

I’m digging the cajon player’s groove.

[@arnolduntalan894]

,?

[@RyanxDunn]

Heck yes. The way it sounds in the mix when it's mic'd up sounds great here, too

[@munif8884]

Bravo,Bravo, Chris Fuchigami, you have taken the music of Carlos Santana to another level, wow, simply wow, keep up your good work, and the back up fellow musicians, they are awesome as well...thank you for the arrangements and awesome talent, absolute music to my ears..............

[@edwardheynes3880]

Words fail to describe the beauty. Masterful.

[@OscarHernandez-sd9bm]

Carlos Santana must feel very proud of this beautiful rendition of one of his master pieces

[@faithtavaresperaltapinky1258]

I hope he is because Kris turn it into something beautifully played so proud to see our younger ones respect an oldie and turn it into something like this ......awesome

[@evaderefresh_yt7005]

Oscar Hernandez I don’t think there is such thing as master piece when it comes to Santana all of them are masterpieces

[@VivienneHope]

It just gives me shivers when I hear Kris playing this. Perfection.

[@bobjeaniejoey]

Tears of joy are streaming down my face. So beautiful!!! Thank you, Carlos, for the composition! Thank you, Kris and friends, for sharing your love!

[@silviaakemi5682]

Can't stop listening this fantastic music. In november 2020

[@CousinHoagy]

This is really BIG in our 7,000 + islands that are The Philippines........UKULELE groups, bands and organizations.....with Festivals and the like, but nothing compares to Hawaii's !

[@earlcedricdeguzman4114]

are you from jam 883?

[@shawnkay5462]

Amazing. The Ukulele is such a beautiful sounding instrument especially when picking. Europa is the perfect song to play on the Uke.

[@terukoba1]

I felt I were in Heaven during listening this!

[@luvgabriel]

This is simply the moat beautiful version of Europa I've ever heard. Soulful, and exquisitely melancholy. Thank you, Mr. Fuchigami and Co.

[@SteveInQLD007]

by far the best cover of this tune ive heard anywhere, EVER!! fantastic job!!👍👍

[@ditagaoalii2434]

Omg, he's awesome on the ukulele specially playing one of SATANA smash hit. I would say he's is for sure one of Hawaii finest.

[@asustal]

This version is now part of my permanent play list. So frickin' soulful. Rocks me to my core. You are right up there with the uke greats Kris!

[@oslal]

Soooo thats what paradise sounds like!

[@faithtavaresperaltapinky1258]

and we have more like this on every island we not in grass shacks or use coconut shells for bra or grass skirts anymore only when performing a traditional hula dance but yes this is my paradise proud to live in (smiles)

[@eddiemarconi3420]

I've never heard the Ukulele played this well.

[@meriembendarhal11]

[@alonso6974]

That was absolutely superb playing by Mr Fuchigami!! I also think the backing musicians did a fantastic job for the piece. Their names and instruments deserve to be mentioned in the "about" section.
