Nothing is spoof proof

Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain

Come presentare la geniale, esilarante, iconoclasta Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain?

A concert by the Ukulele Orchestra is a funny, virtuosic, twanging, singing, awesome, foot-stomping obituary of rock-n-roll and melodious light entertainment featuring only the “bonsai guitar” and a menagerie of voices; no drums, no pianos, no backing tracks, and no banjos. A collision of post-punk performance and toe-tapping oldies. See the universe in the grain of a Ukulele. You may never think about music in the same way once you’ve been exposed to the Ukes’ depraved musicology. The Orchestra use the limitations of the instrument to create a musical freedom with Ukuleles (little ones, big ones, high ones, low ones), revealing unsuspected insights into popular music. From Tchaikovsky to Nirvana via Otis Redding, the Orchestra takes you on a world tour with only hand luggage and gives the listener “One Plucking Thing After Another”.

Qualche assaggino-ino-ino di mp3 lo mettono a disposizione (vedi MP3 Downloads ma anche Buying Stuff).
Ma questi grandi entertainers post-punk vanno visti dal vivo: e per fortuna su YouTube non manca la materia prima.

Inizio dai documenti programmatici - che sono anche piccoli capolavori di cabaret (”a wonderful blend of music and acting”):
