“Rhythm & Uke” is the 4th ukulele release from Na Hoku Hanohano Award winning recording artist Abe Lagrimas, jr. The album takes the listener back to Abe’s musical roots: the drums. The importance of rhythm in the song is captured well with just the stripped down instrumentation of drums (performed by Abe) and acoustic bass. Abe then adds his masterful ukulele artistry in melody and improvisation to complete the selections. Each “full band” selection is then followed by a solo ukulele piece, which offers listeners an insightful sense of peace.
