Through out its history the most common use of the ukulele has been to accompany the singing voice. The Hawaiians have used the instrument to extend their culture, the performers of the Tin Pan Alley era accompanied popular tunes of their time, and the ukulele was used at gatherings through out the 1930’s, 40’s, and 50’s to accompany sing
alongs. The Langley Ukulele Ensemble has extended this idea of strummin’ and singin’ by taking popular songs, adding rich vocal harmonies to create 14 arrangements. Summer at its hottest!
