Hawaii’s empress of the ukulele, Taimane, has caught the attention of audiences worldwide with her explosive stage show accompanied by violin, guitar, and percussion. Taimane’s sound draws from her island heritage combined with flamenco, classical, and rock. This is a performance you will not want to miss! Taimane is “distinguished by her island roots and passionate performances.” – Honolulu Star Advertiser.
TAIMANE
Taimane translates to diamond from Samoan and perfectly reflects the different facets of her nature. Whether delicately finger-picking through Bach or radically ripping through Led Zeppelin, Taimane has the ability to morph genres – from classical to rock to flamenco – and stretch her instrument far beyond the familiar melodies of Hawai`i, where she grew up.
When Don Ho caught wind of the talented teen, he invited her to join him as part of his venerable variety show at the Waikiki Beachcomber, further fueling Taimane’s desire to perform for and connect with audiences. In addition to performing her own distinctive versions of well-known pieces, Taimane weaves in original compositions that are as far ranging as her musical tastes. With the fierceness of a rocker, and the grace of a dancer, Taimane and her music are wowing ever-larger audiences. She lights up rooms wherever she goes, sparkling like the diamond that she is.
