Anyone who thought that Portugal's most important contribution to the world's cultural heritage was the invention of the small custard tart Nata is way off the mark. It was Portuguese emigrants who brought the forerunner of the ukulele to Hawaii and turned it into the instrument that would become the smallest giant in the music world. But it was a long way until then, and the saga is one of Shakespearean proportions. Roland Prakken has followed it and collected some of the many interesting and entertaining stories about the development of the tiny four-string instrument.'Fabulous! ... a gift for music lovers of all genres.'Jan Kobrzinowski, chief editor JAZZTHETIK – Magazin für Jazz & Anderes
