      There is a PBS Hawaii interview with her up on RUclips, and they talk a bit about her stage presence. She started out playing on the street, and she credits that with giving her such a strong stage presence. She says she stares people down a lot while playing, because that's part of how she would draw in when she had to compete with the sound of cars driving by and whatnot.

Extremely talented, we bought her CD and talked to her dad who was her manager I think... Few years later I found the CD and saw how crazy talented she still was!

    Her opening song is the _Habanera_ ("L' amour est un oiseau rebelle") from George Bizet's comic opera, "Carmen". Taimane said in an interview, later, that the Tiny Desk people asked her to change her prepared set because they wanted an all-acoustic performance. She had prepared to use some pedals with her ukulele, but she was able to completely change the set on the fly. And, this is the result. Not bad. No? Yes.

In a time of Hawaiian where in 2002 Hoomalu and Shimabakuro were being criticized, now we have a new forge, a new original, a new standard for what is original. The latest set we were working with her was WIllie K's fundraiser at the Hilton Hawaiian Lagoon. Maybe it was because of the somber mood but she did play Fire.

    There isn't a price I would not pay to have that kind of left hand precision. She is marvelous.

    Taimane is a ukulele virtuoso. I believe she uses steel strings which is not typical for a ukulele and she has that wonderful ethereal voice. I think she highlights the versatility of the instrument in ways people have not seen before.

      @shansen I believe Taimane was tutored by Jake, so yes, without Jake Taimane would not be where she is. Both Jake and Taimane have proved that the ukulele is a versatile instrument.

      @@karwashblark7499 You are right, I read that she uses classic guitar nylon strings. I am not a musician, so I have learned that steel strings would probably tear the bridge off a ukulele. Taimane does reproduce that beautiful Spanish guitar sound.

      @weapsalot You're not wrong. Taimane was actually a student of Jake's. They both make the ukulele sing.

    Back to the music. Taimane is the most talented & accomplished uke virtuoso I've even seen & heard! Just incredible! Just saw her t.v. video/interview with Leslie and she's just a wonderful jewel. What a great story of her young profession life. Very cool!

    Obviously Taimane can shred the ukulele and she makes quite an amazing performance. She got a good chance many years ago from Don Ho. But one thing I didn't know is how wonderful she can sing. The third song Maluhia is beautiful. Sing more Taimane! Mahalo Tiny Desk!

Yes, she's so beautiful (they all are) but why oh why is the camera not on her ukulele close up too, there is not one single tight ukulele shot, not ONE!!! This is what Taimane is about. I'm just so grateful that she's on. The hula, unbelievably perfect and beautiful! Miss you Jazzy! Real men dance hula!
