SUMMARY
"The Ukulele" is an entertaining look at this whimsical, diminutive instrument and its influence on popular music and pop culture worldwide. Elaborately illustrated, the color-rich book brings to life the "jumping flea" in a unique showcase of rare ukuleles, famous players and manufacturers, and witty memorabilia and artwork. With a fun-to-read historical narrative, "The Ukulele" traces the instrument's evolution from its 1800s roots to the current ukulele festival in Hawaii and beyond. Richard in folklore as well as documented history, the uke's birth took place on August 23, 1879, when a ship arrive in Hawaii carrying 419 Portuguese settlers. Hawaiian music would never be the same again!Beloff, Jim is the author of 'Ukulele A Visual History', published 2003 under ISBN 9780879307585 and ISBN 0879307587.
