The rebroadcast of Jake Shimabukuro: Life on Four Strings on PBS Hawaii:
Saturday, June 7th
7:30 p.m.
This one hour documentary is a compelling portrait of Jake Shimabukuro, an inspiring and inventive musician whose virtuoso skills on the ʻukulele have transformed all previous notions of the instrument’s potential. Through intimate conversations with Shimabukuro (she-ma-BOO-koo-row), Life on Four Strings reveals the cultural and personal influences that have shaped the man and the musician. On the road from Los Angeles to New York to Japan, the film captures the solitary life on tour: the exhilaration of performance, the wonder of newfound fame, the loneliness of separation from home and family. National public television broadcast premiere May 10, 2013.
Co-produced by Center for Asian American Media and Pacific Islanders in Communications
