People need to appreciate it more and the music that comes out of it is so amazing. The instrument has a melody in it that brings a one of a kind talent.

Excellent work and outstanding performances!!! The players of the seasoned instruments are to be commended for extracting the beautiful natural sound! (and Nani's performance was also outstanding as always)

Hawaii adopted this instrument that came from Portugal. They have made it their own, however.

Not uke, it's ukulele. You give more respect to the instrument when you call it by it's name ukulele.
