I was impressed with a ukulele, a simple instrument that can make incredible music, of course, the ukulele is played daengan hands of skilled and talented, such as the following ukulele players who have been legendary.

Benny Nawahi

John Kameaaloha Almeida
Blind from the age of 10, was a composer (over 300 songs), vocalist, instrumentalist, teacher, bandleader, recording artist, and recording executive. He was truly one of the outstanding figures in Hawaiian music history and was known as the "Dean of Hawaiian Music"
Jesse Kaleihia Andre Kalima

Eddie Kamae
