Though popular imagination associates the instrument with Hawai’ian culture, the ukulele instrument is actually Portuguese in origin.

In the 1800s, Portuguese immigrant cabinet makers Augusto Dias, Manuel Nunes, and Jose do Espirito Santo became the first documented ukulele makers in Hawai’i. They reinvented the guitar 𝘮𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘵𝘦, a popular folk instrument from their home island of Madeira, using Hawai’ian hardwoods instead of the traditional spruce or pine. The portable size and easy playability of the instrument contributed to the popularity of ukulele. However, it is the patronage of King Kalākaua, the penultimate monarch of Hawai’i, that ensured Hawai’ian culture and society embraced the little Portuguese invention.

This National Arts Month, join us with acclaimed ukulele artist 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝘁. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳. 𝗟𝗲𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗿 𝗣. 𝗥𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗷𝗼 as he tackles the role of artistic expression in promoting disaster resilience in 𝙍𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙇𝙞𝙫𝙚 Episode 20.
