She’s such a gifted musician. I’m hypnotized by the way she plays, so effortlessly, as if the ukulele was an extension of her consciousness.
That's deep.. 🤯 😄
It's clearly an extension of her arms and her soul
Her stage presence was outta this world and I’m not gonna lie the mix she did to stairway to heaven blew me away
She's enjoying herself so much and it's fantastic the energy she has
And just her musical control. Oh my lord
I had the pleasure of seeing her live and yes her stage presence alone was mesmerizing.
Not everyone likes her genre- bending stuff. I marvel that she plays so fast & clean & inventively, never muddy or slurred & never half- assed. What more can anyone expect of an artist?
She's what we should expect from artists, she's innovative and dedicated to her craft
I saw her at age 13 busking on Kalakaua Ave. in Waikiki, she drew a big crowd and was so fun to 3
watch her dance as she played.
WOW! Jazz, Rock, Blues and Spanish guitar mixed all together in a small Ukulele. Who would have ever thought!
And Brazilian music also (Tico Tico no Fubá - by Zequinha de Abreu)!
Perhaps mandolin and banjo too 😆
I love her confidence and the way she flows with the music
The woman with a guitar did great too. No one seems to notice her though.
I did!!
How did u know, no one did!
They weren't supposed to ;)
@@venkyisliving 👍
Yeah they just stuff chunky in the back row and forgot about her. 😄
Taimane is a musical genius, I have never thought a ukulele can sound so amazing. She makes the music from the ukulele sound absolutely divine. Her skill & talent is truly most inspiring & it takes you to another level. I will have to check out her music into greater detail.
I would love to have a fraction of her stage confidence. I love what this girl does!
Enchanting, magical, enchanting, mad, miraculous..."-"..
Not only her talent, but combine it with her voice, her beauty, her gracefulness, her joy and energy, and what a winning combination!
Great musical talent and showmanship. Wish her well.
Hail Zequinha de Abreu, brazilian musician, composer and instrumentalist! Taimane begins with one of his great compositions. Tico Tico no Fubpa. Zequinha de Abreu + Led Zeppelin + Beethoven, just nice!
Someone put a spot light on that lady on guitar! She played so well, maybe as good as the lead.
She makes my playing look like childs play.
@Ricci Hardow good one😂
How or why would anyone give this a thumbs down? She’s like the Dick Dale of the Ukulele. It’s a really nice rendition and fusion. Totally love her performance. Bravo !!
BRAVO! There is different, but not better. BRAVO!!! !!! !!!
Tico tico no fubá....pérola do Brasil...❤
She is Awesome. I love watching her
What a dynamite! How can I learn to play like you?? An absolute rockstar.... huge fan from India
How about you find yourself a good teacher in your city?
@@mother.95 haven't found any yet, have been trying for months. :) also, ukulele is a sweet instrument, I have learnt a lot via UA-cam videos in the last 2 months and what I have observed is that you can master it through consistent dedication and hardwork on your own, just needs practice.
@@bornonagoswami Just practice. But she started at the age of 5, and you seem to be a lil older.
Absolutely brilliant Taimane 👏👏👏
Simply incredible. Why have I never seen this young lady before? Absolutely beautiful.
there may be better guitarists but when you throw in her versions, her beauty, and her very expressive performance, no one touches this girl. phenominal performances.......think; Greek mythology--- The nine" Muse sisters" that appear as young beautiful women who seek to inspire mankind through music and poetry. Question is ..... which one is she? Simply awesome love the femininity she displays.....dresses, the bare feet and her backup, Jazzy Jazz is overlooked but is also absolutely fantastic all the videos big, big fan from Maine
If Taimane & band comes to your area go see and hear this goddess and the excellent musicians she tours with!
The lady in the background was absolutely amazing as well. A shame she doesn't get more exposure.
It's 1:am in the morning and I need to go to bed but she's got me so damn hypnotized I Can't sleep.
Awesome performance. Wow, she is dynamite on that uke. Sounds a little Flamenco to me, which is great.
Absolutely amazing!
so beautiful! She's such a great musician and performer and just exudes emotion in her playing and movements. Gorgeous woman as well and as sensual as you can get!
Beautiful
She's really good
Yes the other women is great but Tamy,s expression is superb looks like she does not play the smile and the easy smiling way is brilliant.
Excellent. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👌👌
Amazing performance.
All My life I've always seen the Ukulele as a Joke. Thank You for educating Me today. You're an inspirational Ladie & Musician ofcourse.
Alex Walker I agree, I never saw it as a REAL instrument but now... my mind has been changed by this talented young lady.
Alex Walker look for Ledward Kaapana on uke also, fun stuff; Led does a great ‘Killing Me Softly’ on uke.
Here ya go brah

She is amazing and one of the pre-eminent ukulele ambassadors. I bought a 5-string ukulele because of her.

I was not expecting "Tico-tico no Fuba'" !!! hahaha!
Thank you very much !!!
You are very talented! I didn't know that a ukulele can be played that way! Awesome performance!
What an amazingly great technical and elegant performance. Just the body language shows the concentration.
Incredible and simply in a class by herself
Zeppelin + Hot Ukulele Virtuoso...doesn’t get any better than this
hot potato
Beautiful & the music too
This girl has a gypsy soul.At one point I thought she was gonna catch fire 🎶👍🎶👍🎶
Romani for sure....
g word is offensive, its a slur
Who is the incredible female guitar player behind her? Both WOW!
Awesome you blew me away outstanding playing by all 👍😃
Note how every one of those demisemidemisemidemisemiquavers she plays are completely evenly spaced, and spot on. I knew as a complete beginner I'd come here and groan, because how can you match that?
Amazing. Such a great performance by all of the players here!
How can someone be so perfect?
"Acoustic Goddess"
this just blew my mind!
Unbelievable performance!
The title failed to say that at the beginning of the presentation she played the song "Ticotico" by Carmen Miranda.
Beautiful and talented
Lograste ponerme la piel de gallina. Grandeee!!! 😃👌
Out out out standing!
Just think if Grace vanderwaal was this good when she broke out in one of her concerts with some smoking ukulele music like this.
Grace Vanderwaal is an industry puppet and shill.... sorry!
Grace plays basic chords like Riptide in shows, the only thing I’ll give her kudos is creativity for her songs.
Grace isn't a virtuoso player, but she writes and sings her own songs. Another great talent.
@@garyg248 A talent she is, greatness is yet to be realised. I am not sure she is that great ~ opinion.
Grace Vanderwaal is 15 years old! Give her a break! Taimaine is 30 and has been playing since she was 5!
I and my nephew love her soooo much.
Bravo !!! Well done.
Words cannot possibly describe how awe-inspiring this is... I wanna play like that so badly... it's so beautiful!!! It's so complex and fast paced just- I almost spat out my cookie! (Christmas cookies lol). You're literally insane.
Absolutely floored....wow....just wow!
Beautiful
she is a performer !!
Tico Tico no Fubá com roupa nova! Gostei muito!
Fantastika ♥ ♫ so gifted young lady
Shredded past perfection!!! 🔥😸🤙🏾🚀
You are so crazy good! I can't believe what you can do on that thing!!
You are sooooooooo super gooood, best women ukelele player
Magnífica!!! Bravo!!!
unreal...beautiful...amazing...nuts!!!!
Before I realized that the yellow pick near the ukulele’s tuning pegs was hooked on, I was having a heart attack watching it slide around 😂
Woah.. Where did you get all your energy? This makes me feel like I'm in the stage as well... Volume maxed and the beat is just hypnotizing. Damn good lady!!!
That was just so great! what a talent she is thx:)
A primeira música executada chama-se Tico-tico no Fubá de um compositor brasileiro, que também se repete no meio do vídeo.
Taimane tu la meilleure you are the best !
Tico-tico no fubá. Brasil 🇧🇷
That was beautiful...
Taimane i beleive in u .you are talented.
Beautiful Taimane!
Hi, this is "tico-tico-no-fuba", but, still wonderful !!
LOVE you!
Watch out Jimmy Page, this woman can not only play but with a ukulele she is totally WOW !!!
And "Tico tico no fuba", a famous Brazilian song from the 50's(?)
1917
Quando ela lançou a tico tico, eu perdi as estribeiras
Astounding Talent
She be great together with Mozart heros together unique style
Bravo!
Apparently Led Zeppelin and Beethoven met somewhere in Spain.
Dick Dale was also hanging out in the same bar.
Estupendísima!!!
Showmanship
