      There is a PBS Hawaii interview with her up on UA-cam, and they talk a bit about her stage presence. She started out playing on the street, and she credits that with giving her such a strong stage presence. She says she stares people down a lot while playing, because that's part of how she would draw in when she had to compete with the sound of cars driving by and whatnot.

Extremely talented, we bought her CD and talked to her dad who was her manager I think... Few years later I found the CD and saw how crazy talented she still was!

    Her opening song is the _Habanera_ ("L' amour est un oiseau rebelle") from George Bizet's comic opera, "Carmen". Taimane said in an interview, later, that the Tiny Desk people asked her to change her prepared set because they wanted an all-acoustic performance. She had prepared to use some pedals with her ukulele, but she was able to completely change the set on the fly. And, this is the result. Not bad. No? Yes.

In a time of Hawaiian where in 2002 Hoomalu and Shimabakuro were being criticized, now we have a new forge, a new original, a new standard for what is original. The latest set we were working with her was WIllie K's fundraiser at the Hilton Hawaiian Lagoon. Maybe it was because of the somber mood but she did play Fire.

    There isn't a price I would not pay to have that kind of left hand precision. She is marvelous.

    Hana HO! It's just so good! Oh my goodness, Taimane is finally there! I get "Chicken skin" my island sister! Oh - my - god! Yes, she's so beautiful (they all are) but why oh why is the camera not on her ukulele close up too, there is not one single tight ukulele shot, not ONE!!! This is what Taimane is about. I'm just so grateful that she's on. The hula, unbelievably perfect and beautiful! Miss you Jazzy! Real men dance hula!

    Dear NPR, Thank you for this concert and so many others. You have introduced me to great artists that i didn´t know before. The sound quality and coziness of the studio are amazing and even better: no publicity!!! Taimane is mesmerizing!! The videos are always great, but in this ocassion, May I make an observation? This video focuses a lot on Taimane's face, I mean, she is gorgeous, Who wouldn´t be hipnotized by her glance? But her playing of the Uk is so awesome and unique, I would have loved to see more close ups on her hands. Thank you so much for your great job and for bringing the joy of great music in my house

    Back to the music. Taimane is the most talented & accomplished uke virtuoso I've even seen & heard! Just incredible! Just saw her t.v. video/interview with Leslie and she's just a wonderful jewel. What a great story of her young profession life. Very cool!

      Check her youtube channel, she has a lot of material there ranging from very informal to formal performances and all styles sometimes in the same song medley! Led Zepplin, Beethoven, Surf music, she can hop between them effortlessly. Her channel here is just her name: Taimane.

    Okay, so I've watched maybe 50-75 of these Tiny Desk videos. This one? Perhaps the best!! WOW!! I'm pausing here before the first song is over....simply magical! Best solo work on an instrument by far on this program. And the overall sound....who could NOT like this?!
