Merry Ukulele Christmas

Merry Ukulele Christmas, by Hawaii’s virtuoso, Kalei Gamiao, is the ideal companion for “all things Christmas.” Twelve sweetly spirited acoustic instrumentals glisten under Kalei’s intricate ukulele handiwork. “Silent Night,” “The Prayer,” “What Child is This?” and “O Holy Night,” are blissfully serene while standards “Winter Wonderland,” “All I Want for Christmas is You, “Let It Snow,” and “Linus and Lucy” are joyful and upbeat. Homegrown favorites, “Mele Kalikimaka,” and “Holiday Hula,” are delightfully playful while Kalei’s original, “Winter Surf,” will be the next must-have for ukulele fans. This season’s shining star, Merry Ukulele Christmas, is the go-to holiday collection for an incredibly cool Yule.
