The Asian ukulele world is under-represented in our uke coverage here in the West, Al. Give this some thought over at UH.
Now, Sungha Jung has a cult-like following. Huge, but still cult-like in its devotion and adoration. Perhaps this is cultural and something I just don’t understand. But he could burn out on this degree of attention before reaching adulthood.
From what I’ve seen, I’d rate him as one of the world’s prime exponents of ukezak. His enormous talent, as far as I can tell, is spent on blah instrumental covers that, if packaged, could be sold as sure-fire cures for the most stubborn cases of insomnia. Guitar as well as uke.
Like wasting Elvis in insipid films. He’s still Elvis, but he’s being wasted.
“Thinkng About You” is very well done. Deserves its
popularity.
I wish I’d found the prison video. One of the few unique ones around.
