Salwa Azar, Ooks of Hazard: UkeTube

You might have already had a sneak preview of this post, but here’s the finished article.

Today’s tube includes Ukulollo with Siwar from Ukuleles for Peace. They’re currently offering a pineapple ukulele for the best ukulele song. You can find out more in this video.

Also featured is Miss Jess. Her fantastic EP, Jammin’ at Jacksons, is now available on iTunes so you have no excuse for not picking up at least a couple of tracks (Philadelphia and Finally Mine are indispensable).

Also up is Salwa Azar, Zooey Deschanel, some blinding bluegrass and plenty more.

I’ve probably missed a bunch of videos while I’ve been away on holibobs so I hope you’ve been following UkeToob.

There’s another video you should be aware of: Eliza Doolittle’s Skinny Genes. Looks like she’s being set up as the English Miley Cyrus.

    Siwar and Ukulollo are wonderful! There’s a great selection of videos here. The quality, overall has definitely improved, particularly in the area of audio.

    This is good, because they’re songs first.

    This time I did start listen to the videos in the opposite direction!!Why? I like the accent from Taimana’s waltz when she sings french and yes I did stay a bit longer with Carnival – Siwar and Ukulollo. Craig must understand that I like voices from the opposite gender!

  4. Herman May 15th, 2010 6:54 pm

    you are right todd … I missed musicmayi therefore I “came again”

    That ooks of hazard vid brought a big smile to my face. Thanks for sharing!

    What a great lineup of uke variety – The Ooks of Hazard are definitely a new fave – after only posting one video! Amazing:) And Craig is always a favorite. Thanks for including me in such a great group of players!

    Craig: I’ve definitely seen a big increase in quality (and in quantity for that matter) since the blog started.

    Herman: I wonder what it’s going to take to get you to complement a guy’s video!

    todd: Glad you enjoyed!

    Emily: Yeah, they do a great job of it. They’ve put effort into the arrangement of the instruments and the vocals.

    UkePeas: I think there’ll be more of Salwa on the blog in future. I’m a fan.

    Mandalyn: Thanks very much for your contribution to the post.

    I’m right behind you, Mandalyn. It’s a definite thrill to be included. I had no idea that such a far reaching and motivated uke community existed out there. It’s very inspiring. And I’ve got to say that between Woodshed’s repertoire of tunes and Taimane Gardner above, a tenor uke is looking very appealing…

  10. Herman Vandecauter May 19th, 2010 8:04 am

    Woodched: If Israel Kamakawiwo’ole could come back! Unrivaled!

  11. Woodshed May 22nd, 2010 5:48 am

    Sanford: Yep, you should get a tenor. Thanks for your contribution to the UkeTube.

  12. ukulollo June 7th, 2010 11:01 pm

    wow, thanks Craig, thanks Herman, and most of all, Thanks Al. So, I’d say most of Al. (hope you’ll keep on featuring my video after this!)
    It’s an honor to be together with such great artists!
    Yes, Hazzard was so cool, and what a strange charming melody the new taimane song! Umbelivable

    cara salimando, one of my inspirations for playing the uke!
