Living Ukulele
A review written for the Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange by Mark S. Tucker (progdawg@hotmail.com). When PR guy Mike Bloom turned me on to the phenomenal Jake Shimabukoro, I found my access point to Hawaiian music and thus discovered a number of very satisfying musicians from the paradise island, especially leo ki'eki'e (falsetto) singer and ukulele player Uncle Richard Ho'Oppi'i (who appears here to comment on Paiva), one of the world's vocal maestros. Then came another Jake, this time in female flesh, Brittni Paiva…or so it seemed, but in Paiva, one quickly discerns how the ukulele can be as subtly attuned to the player's personality and artistic bent as any other instrument..........

DVD
BRITTNI PAIVA/Living Ukulele: There’s a lot of reasons why this is the greatest documentary ever made, but the biggest reason why is because they quote me right on the front cover, first of all the quotes. When you consider that Hawaiian ukulele music isn’t our long suit here, we spotted it all the way over here in the frozen Midwest that she was the bomb long before she was recognized as Hawaii’s entertainer of the year for 2011. A dandy look at the girl behind the music, she’s one of those child prodigies that was interested in something other than math out there along the Pacific Rim, and she shows that at 21 she still approaches things as a fan while still being every inch the pro. A great introduction to Paiva, this is a treat well worth checking out when you want/need something out of the ordinary to really free your ears and mind. Well done. 611 Volume 35/Number 49 December 19, 2011 MIDWEST RECORD CHRIS SPECTOR, Editor and Publisher Copyright 2011 Midwest Record http://midwestrecord.com/MWR422.html MUSIC VIDEO posted!
