Armelle || Ukulele & Languages


Armelle has a blog called Ukuleles & Languages. She is living in France and enjoys speaking in various languages and the playing the ukulele. I was checking out her YouTube channel again and noticed that one of her goals do a project gathering ukulele songs in as many languages as possible. Perhaps you know of a song that you can share with her...

You can check the videos she has gathered so far on her blog: http://ukulelelanguages.com/

Armelle comments... Herman visited me and set himself a double challenge : play Tico Tico that he had just freshly arranged for the guitar and teach two ukers to strum along. All this in one afternoon... Read about it here: http://ukulelelanguages.com/ukulele-languages/herman-vandecauter-in-burgundy/ Herman told us afterwards that he didn't really think we would manage... But he can work miracles: even though we all made some strumos (typos applied to string instruments) all in all the result could have been much worse.

  1. Jeff,

    thanks a lot for relaying my search for ukulele videos from around the world !

    Videos in languages other than English are not always easy to find as many people sing in English rather than in their native languages,so it's very nice of you to spread the word !

  3. Color contrast at the top of this page makes it very hard to read...
