Mungo Harry Kalahiki - Mungo Plays Ukulele

Review by Mike Cheng

Mungo Harry Kalahiki's album, Mungo Plays Ukulele, is a delightful collection of 12 instrumental tracks that showcase the artist's mastery of the ukulele. The album is a mix of original compositions and covers of classic Hawaiian tunes, all played with precision and skill.

The album opens with the upbeat and catchy "Ukulele Swing," a track that immediately sets the tone for the rest of the album. From there, Mungo takes listeners on a journey through a variety of styles, from the gentle and soothing "Pua Lilia" to the lively and energetic "Hawaiian War Chant."

One standout track is "Wahine Ilikea," a beautiful and haunting melody that showcases Mungo's ability to evoke emotion through his playing. The song is a perfect example of the ukulele's versatility and Mungo's skill in using it to create a range of moods and atmospheres.
