Description
The ukulele tag encompasses music featuring the bright, cheerful sound of this small four-stringed instrument, originally from Hawaii but now embraced worldwide. Its distinctive plucky tone evokes tropical warmth and accessible simplicity, making it popular across folk, indie, and novelty music. The instrument's portability and approachable nature have made it a favorite for both intimate singer-songwriter pieces and playful ensemble arrangements.
