Christmas in Hawaii is not likely to be white, but it does have its own special charm. On this CD, the uniquely Hawaiian sound of the ukulele offers a fresh approach to seasonal classics.
Collected here are some of the most beautiful Christmas songs of all time, artfully played on the ukulele by Daniel Ho. Classical favorites like the "Russian Dance" from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite, "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" by J.S. Bach, and Pachelbel's "Canon in D".
You'll also enjoy a few modern Christmas standards. Songs like "Silent Night", "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and "The First Noel". Here, the sweet sound of the ukulele is rounded out by guitar, piano, bass, and drums for a jazzier feel. So throw a Yule log on the fire and imagine it's the warmth of Hawaii's tropical sun.
