Native-language-ukulele videos needed

Armelle0808 · May 5, 2009

Hi all,

I've always had a keen interest in languages so I've started writing a post on native-European-language-ukulele videos :

http://armelle-europe.over-blog.com/article-31001839.html

The idea is to have ukulele songs in as many languages as possible. Many non English speakers sing in English and I'd like to bring back the native language side to the ukulele. I've started with European languages and I will look at other world languages in future posts too.

I am missing quite a few languages, so if any of you know about ukulele videos (or feel like creating one) in languages I don't have yet, please reply to this thread so I can include them in a future post.

Thanks in advance for your help !

What do you have so far? I think if you listed what you have, it might help . . .

One of my goals is to learn"please don't touch my birdie" on the uke.

I hear Hawaiian is a nice language to hear sung accompanied by a 'ukulele.

This is in Flemish it is the native language of half of us Belgians...
It is very similar to Dutch.

How about this one? The lyrics/chords can be found here. And let me know if you want more Hawaiian, there are many on YT . . . This is one of my favorite medleys by The Makaha Sons. Enjoy and Aloha!

There are plenty of Japanese videos around. Here's one from Daisy Dobuyuki and Bosko and Honey.

On the subject of B&H and Tagalog, here's a song from Seeso.

Thank you cpatch !
I didn't know about Tahitian ukuleles. It has a distinctive sound.
I will include it too unless I find a 4-string-ukulele song in Tahitian.
