Ohta-San – biography
Herb Ohta,
internationally renowned musician, began playing the ukulele
when he was only 7 years old. Influenced greatly by Hawaiian
ukulele virtuoso Eddie Kamae, this exceptional musician has
elevated the ukulele from an accompaniment solo instrument
status. He extends his love of the ukulele from Hawaiian music
to classical, jazz, rock, pop, and Latin music as well. Ohta-San's
diversity and style reflect his lyrical sense and is respected
as the height of ukulele artistry. He is the only known master
of the ukulele instrument to have over 6000 tunes performed on
concert and he has recorded on Decca, Warner Bros., Polydor, JVC
Victor, M & H Hawaii and many others.
- Ohta-San with over 100 albums to his credit continues to
fascinate his fans in the U.S., Japan, Canada, France,
Australia, Mexico, and Brazil and beyond. His successful hit,
"Song for Anna" composed by famed French composer and conductor
Andre Popp, has sold over 200,000 copies throughout the world by
A & M Records in 1976.

melodies and combination of authentic taste.
