Play Mele Kalikimaka on Your Uke
Play some Christmas carols and get in the holiday spirit! Take a musical vacation this holiday season to the beautiful Island of Hawaii. Not everyone experiences cold and snowy winters, especially not those on a warm and sunny island!
Mele Kalikimaka is a jazzy Christmas carol made famous by singer Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters. This tune paints a different picture from the traditional icy holidays cozied up by a fireplace. Whether you are bundled up under a blanket or enjoying your holiday with toes int he sand, we hope to share the joy of music with you this year!
