Next stop on our tour of Latin America is Argentina.
Let’s start with a cover of Me Late, a song by Argentinian Reggae Rock band Los Pericos, played on a tenor uke by Diego from the Dominican Republic. Just to avoid any confusion, “Me Late” is not a grammatically incorrect form of ”I’m late” but means “Beats me” in Spanish.
The lyrics for the song can be found here.
Already featured on Uke Hunt, Argentinian Coqui Reca is playing Solito Solo at a bus stop in England.
I can’t write a post about Argentina without mentioning tango. I couldn’t find an Argentinian ukulelist playing a tango but I found players from Japan and the United-Kingdom doing their take on the genre.
Gawasiman from Japan is displaying great ukulele skills in this Tango en Skaï by Tunisian-French Roland Dyens.
The last tango to be featured today is this excellent cover of Masochism Tango by Tom Lehrer, played by Tom (aka UkuleleUncle).

Gwasiman’s ukulele skills certainly are impressive. His may well be the best performance by a Japanese of an Argentine-style piece by a Tunisian-French composer thbat I’ve heard so far.

Acilius: :) I figured that piece was very fitting for ukulele and languages :) Glad you spotted it !
