In this week’s Ukulele World Tour, we’ll fly to Brazil where blog friend Marcelo has uncovered new ukulele artists.

We’ll then move from Germany to Canada for a bunch of ukulele songs in German before landing in Spain with a performance by Spanish ukulele blog friend Jordi.

If all this doesn’t make you suffer from jet lag, you’ll be able to reach the end of this post with an escape to Australia before coming back to mainland Europe with a song by TooSoft from France.

Country: Brazil /Language: Brazilian Portuguese

Marcelo from the blog Ukulele Brazil recently mentioned two Brazilian artists using the ukulele : Ana Ribeiro and Eduardo Ansay.

This song, Minha Paz is their first single.

Georges Brassens discovered the works of French poet Antoine Pol, among which Emotions Poétiques (1918), and decided to set the poem Les Passantes to music in 1972. This in turn inspired Italian Fabrizio De André, who translated the song to Italian and included it in an album called Canzoni.

Spanish Ukulele Tour

Today I’m in the mood for a trip to Spain where I’ve just discovered a few bands using the ukulele.

Let’s accompany a Catalonian band called Manel through the streets of Barcelona. Manel are performing a song called En La Que el Bernat Se’t Troba. The video is not very recent (April 2008) but I thought it was fun to visit Barcelona anyway.

Here is a more recent live performance of Manel, a song called Al Mar!.
