Dueling Ukuleles

Latest news from Hawaiian ukulele land: shred-master Jake Shimabukuro (left), who is right now touring Micronesia, will be starting a major US tour in the next few days, lasting until early July. He'll then begin his "regular" summer job as opening act for Jimmy Buffett. Dates here:

Jake is now starting to get some serious (but friendly) competition from the person on the right, 19 year old Brittni Paiva, who hails from Hilo on the Big Island. She's already got 3 albums out.

Check out Brittni's rendition of Carlos Santana's "Europa" here:
