It's very hard not to smile when you hear a ukulele, when you hear that many it's a really big smile and when the whole audience gets involved you have to laugh.🤣
Good afternoon Mrs. Judith Mary Hill, this instrument has Portuguese origin, not Hawaiian, it was taken to Haway by the Portuguese and is called "Cavaquinho". You can see several videos with this instrument played in Portugal by simply typing in the RU-vid search engine: "Música de cavaquinho", you can also watch o vídeo: "cavaquinho Kalinka Chico Gouveia" and you will see how this instrument sounds. You will then be able to appreciate the true sound of that instrument. Best regards.

I saw them in Edinburgh last year, and they were brilliant. They are on tour a lot so it's worth checking their website for gig dates. www.ukuleleorchestra.com/index.php/upcoming-events/
just seen them this evening in Munich in a sold-out Prinzregententheater (not a small one) where the audience were extremely enthusiastic (justifiably . . .) for a brilliant concert!!
