Today, after swimming in the ocean up north, we stopped at Waikoloa for their annual ukelele festival. We had been enormously entertained 2 years ago by the large scale and avid participation of Hawaiians in performing the music and interpretive dance. Today, there was only a single performance stage, and during the time we watched, it was a single Hawaiian playing lounge music on an electric ukelele, with the accompaniment of a music synthesizer. It was definitely not the Hawaiian music we were expecting.
A big crowd showed up, and we saw lots of people carrying their ukelele cases on their backs. There were clinics on how to build ukeleles and lessons available.
