The Pacific Ukulele Connection is the theme that the Langley Ukulele Ensemble took through the 2004/05 season. This recording offers selections that connect the Pacific Rim Region. Kawika, Hene Hene, Hawaiian Lullaby and Royal Hawaiian Hotel make the obvious connection to Hawaii. Sukiyaki reminds us of the instrument's tremendous popularity in Japan while Pokare Kare Ana makes the connection to the Maori people of New Zealand.

The Pacific Ukulele Connection allows the group to honour the impact that the ukulele has had both in the community of Langley and abroad. The members of the Ensemble will continue to foster its connections to the international ukulele community.
