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

[@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.

[@christelambongan2826]

eve 😮😂

[@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.

[@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]

Pat Clark 4

[@MiMoTheMusician]

My thoughts exactly

[@robwolst8056]

WoW ......masterplayer!!!!!!!!

[@noemiperez91]

Can't stop listening to this beautiful rendition. .

[@noelpatrick4936]

Simple amazing

[@andredemers69]

me neither!!

[@paulland3040]

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

[@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

[@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.👏

[@debbiedeeannbell5551]

Oct 4 2020 and still listening to this beautiful rendition of Europa - very skilled artist🌺

[@luvgabriel]

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

[@islandgirl9298]

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

[@fender89s]

Woooooaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh I love it when Kris turned his distortion on his uke such POWWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRR!!!!! AMAZING BAND!!!

[@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.

[@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?

[@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!

[@shawnkay5462]

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

[@VivienneHope]

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

[@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!

[@terukoba1]

I felt I were in Heaven during listening this!

[@williamkolba1429]

[@phred25]

[@SteveInQLD007]

[@meriembendarhal11]

It hurts but it feels good

[@silviaakemi5682]

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

[@carnix0608]

percussion is really good.

[@JonahEwaliko]

Mr. Fuchigami has outstanding abilities with the ukulele and has been a major influence for me to delve deeper into playing ukulele! This cover is moving and, in my opinion, one of the best covers I have ever heard. I am sure Carlos Santana would appreciate this covered piece. Keep up the amazing work, man! Much Aloha from the Windward Side.

[@marcwouters1420]

If the Santana boys would hear this then they only be very proud !!!!! Bravo , done very nicely !!!!

[@eddiemarconi3420]

I've never heard the Ukulele played this well.

[@kaleikukui]

His backup complements him well. perfect blend. They should do a CD together

[@sahebtudu4450]

Hi can I have your contact please. This is so amazing...

[@alonso6974]

I SAW IT LIKE 3 YEARS AGO! AND IM STILL IMPRESSED!! I LOVE IT!

[@lukelegend4176]

[@chorrof]

The Best Cover Of EUROPA!!! Hands Down. Thank you Kris! Plus the best backup band you'll ever wish for! A M A Z I N G !!

[@oslal]

[@faithtavaresperaltapinky1258]

[@asiane]

OMG... I'm gonna have to watch/listen to this another 100 times again.

[@richardcogbill6791]

Yeah, who cannot watch this more than a few times? 👍 This is just awesome.

[@megohw78]

[@williamhughes5335]

So beautifully played, cant stop playing it, what a wonderful, soulful rendition. Amazing!

[@PA400NYC]

Absolutely outstanding, as always. Probably one of the greatest versions of this song.

[@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.

[@sugarbee1951]

Having a Santana moment but wow on a Ukulele. Such talent.

[@eddiegutz]

And I thought no one could ever best Carlos Santana's version of Europa. You just did. Damn! Mr. UKEMAN !!!!

[@glenquagmire4232]

The bass the beatbox everything is perfect

[@EmylynnWCheng]

I saw him playing his ukulele when I was in Hilo.He is so talented.

[@tuilavasiitomaiono3800]

You're a genious Chris Fuchigami...you're the first guy that I have ever seen who could play lead with the ukulele and it sounds so pleasant to the ear and the soul....So Amazing my friend...post some more on youtube...

So much emotion in his music, he can do magic with his eukelele, bravo!

[@Ellaniya]

I absolutely love this piece of music and listened to it about three times in a row! On top of the music, his parents should be proud as he's quite a good looker with that smile of his! All I can say is thank you and keep up the good work!

[@faithtavaresperaltapinky1258]

I can never be tired listening to Kris version of Europa 9 years and look it paid off excellent

[@gregvondare]

Fantastic cover. Kris has got that Uke soul. He's amazing. The whole band was wonderful, but I especially liked the cool haole on drums!

[@moleyvasaavedra8439]

Fantastic and truly amazing artists...One of the best EUROPA arrangement I've ever heard. Thank you once again for uploading...Purely entertaining.

[@jeremyacton4569]

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. This should be a policy for all HiSessions recordings. I love this recording initiative and look forward to seeing more. You have a very keen fan of HiSessions here!! Greetings from Cape Town , South Africa Now I'm going to watch it again.....

[@jeremyacton4569]

And what a STUNNING setting!!
