HONG KONG : JAZZ WORLD and UKE HK are thrilled to announce Hawaiian ukulele  maestro TAIMANE for a one-night-only performance at the Academic Community Hall, HK Baptist University on November 6, 2015. Tickets are $280, $380, $480 and $580 and are available from CITYLINE NOW.  

Taimane is one serious ukulele musician. She takes the instrument to new heights with some amazing skills. A look at some of her youtube clips is proof that she is a talented and mesmerising ukulele player. She makes her debut in Hong Kong on November 6, performing at AC Hall and will make time to do some local workshops for budding ukulele fans while she is in Hong Kong.

Taimane Gardner was born on February 13th, 1989 in Honolulu Hawaii and was performing by the time she could walk. She has always loved attention and would sing and dance anytime, anywhere. At the age of 5, her father gave her an ukulele which gave her the perfect opportunity to add to her performances. “I remember the day I got it.” Taimane says. “It was lying on the table and the first thing that popped into my head was ‘rock star’. I picked it up and played in front of the mirror until I broke a string.”

At home, her dad would put Jake Shimabukuro’s CD on for practice while Taimane would try to imitate Jake’s style and songs ….blindfolded. “The blindfolds have helped tremendously.” Taimane says. “It teaches me to rely on muscle memory and confidence which gives me the opportunity to keep eye contact with the audience.” 

Taimane will be playing her well known hits as well as tracks from her new album, “We Are Made Of Stars”. She will be backed by the talents of Jonathan Heraux on cajon and Jazzy Jazz on guitar. 

Jazz World wishes to thank ELEMENTS, dpa microphones, Stiegl Beer, Pelago, Playroll, Metro Radio, without whom, this concert would not be possible.
