*Upcoming, worldwide livestream 🌎🎥 Sunday, August 22, 2021:* *www.bluenotelive.com/eventsold/taimane* Professional, live-in-the-moment broadcast (not pre-recorded) from Blue Note Hawaii (great venue). Pro audio and multiple, pro cameras. No upcoming shows outside of Hawaii until sometime in 2022. Happy to be able to share a live concert with everyone via this pro broadcast from my hometown, Waikiki. Special place, it's where my career began and still one of my favorite places to perform.

You know you've mastered an instrument when you can dance around and focus on the performance instead of focusing on the chords. She is the UKE GODDESS

Her stage presence is giving me life! This is what I look for in an artist, she's the complete package! Amazing!

I've been watching Taimane for a long time now, and this girl has worked bloody hard nonstop since she was a kid. She deserves any recognition she's got and more. Hats off to you girl, wishing you all the best.

we did it people....after years of searching...we've found ling ling

Amazing! Love the way you dance so passionately with music in your videos...it.makes so energetic n beautiful....and your playing is next level....

shes more than a rockstar with her uke hotdamn

I just absolutely love the tempo and the way Tamaine moves her fingers!❤❤❤

The music just flows thru her. No hesitation. Pure , natural . Her body is part of the instrument. A rare natural approach achieved only by few masters.

Soooo some of you would rather her just sit there? her moves are on point, she's a true performer. Not to mention the skill it takes to play and move with purpose like she does.. never ceases to amaze.

Music is in her soul, the way her body moves with every majestical beat! Wow!!

She's stunning in what seems to be her natural environment: she plays, she dances a kind of classical, tango, flamenco and Hawaiian mixed together and she looks at audience as she's inviting you to make love. I think she's a complete artist.

To think that I lived in Honolulu in 2001 and from 2007 to 2013 and never heard you. It's indeed never too late. Thanks, KZfaq! Mahalo, Taimane!

Truly one of a kind. No one can match her passion with her skill and showmanship. She is literally playing her audience like she plays her ukulele. I can’t think of one music artist that is like her. I’m god smacked watching her play and perform . I am a new fan and just subscribed to her youtube channel. She is an amazing talent of the highest level.

I didn't think anyone could make the Ukulele sexy. She proved me wrong.

Them: " the ukulele can never be sexy". Taimane: " Hold my sangria ".

more badass than any Bond girl!!! I can see her starring AND doing the soundtrack for the next Bond movie: Die in Hawaii

i love the way she plays its just so beautiful! i actually got to meet her today, she was amazing and so encouraging.

Its as if she knows exactly what she is doing to the audience when she performs like she is some kind of a magician or a hypnotist

Dynamics fantastic. Great performance. Taking me up and down and sideways and all over the place. Dynamics you know all about.

Who would ever give her or her band a thumbs down is a shame on them.

The first time I have seen this . Wonderful to see someone with such talent play with her whole being .

and then she can still dance so gracefully

I can't even imagine how you can move your fingers so fast!!!

Ай,вах! Какой горячий испанский кровь! Откуда же,ты красавица? Шикарное шоу! Специально до конца досмотрел!!!! Браво!!!

What a Beauty with born talent, she is definitely a true performer where you cannot stop listening let alone watch her performance. Such GREATNESS in all Music, Beauty, Talent, and Loving every moment WOW!!!!

You remind me of Selena Quintanilla-Pérez. She had such a stage presence. She would stand up and applaud you if she were still alive today. Fantastic! Can't wait to see how far you go, which SHOULD be to the stars. All the best wishes!

Incredible! She knows "Tico-tico no Fubá "!!!! Excellent performance! Congrats from Brazil.

Absolutely Stunning! It's like the music is in her blood. What an artist.

She started playing at an early age in Hawaii....Now she's bonafide ukulele vitouso...Hang loose, ALOHA Mahalo...Surreal!!!

Bewitching, tantalising, magical, musical seductress! Jesus, she gets into very soul. I never thought the humble ukulele could be so captivating. She hands out every portion with surgical precision, and kills it! It takes years of obsessed practice to reach here.

I wish everybody could feel Music the way Taimane does ❤️💛💚💙💜🖤

Wow rocking the "tico tico no fubá" with ukulele. genius Taimane❤

Ela é uma grande e maravilhosa musicista! Os brasileiros estão felizes porque em 1:29 ela toca uma música chamada Tico Tico no Fubá. Uma antiga e famosa música brasileira composta por Zequinha de Abreu. She is a great and wonderful musician! Brazilians are happy because at 1:29 she plays a song called Tico Tico no Fuba. An ancient and famous Brazilian song composed by Zequinha de Abreu.

She is the music she plays, It's beautiful.

That was.... Wow. Just wow! I seriously can't come up with anything to describe what I just experienced! Breathless.....

Can listen to the James Bond rendition over and over and over again... Epicness!

Such smooth transition in Technics ..... I think I'm in love with her

Woooaaah. the feeling! Amazing..

What a performer! This is rare natural talent and hard work put together with a beautiful soul

AWESOME UKULELE PLAYING! BEAUTIFUL!

absolutely beautiful Taimane , your music and talent is mind blowing , you have captured my heart and i am honoured .Ukele has always been an instrument of that beautiful pacific sound that captivates many hearts , but you have put it out there in such a way i have never heard before absolutely blew me away loved it so much i just want too say thankyou , thankyou so much God has blessed you with this wonderful gift Taimane , i hope you can come to NewZealand one day it would be an honour to see you perform live . Yes i agree Brian sexy but classy 100 percent.

Takes the uke to different dimension!

How is it I have never heard of her? This video is 11 years old! Such an unconventional approach to entertainment (using a ukulele masterfully--mind blowing talent!). I have subscribed and can't wait to see more!

A genius, a great artist, entertainer. Voila.

@wordpainter423 It is a tenor Kamaka 8 string ukulele. Face is spruce and the body is koa. No laminate Don't know what the fingerboard is. Thank u very much for your inquiry.

This is art ! Astonishing

this Lassie has a splendid inbuilt Rhythm machine, as well Grace unlimited! Oh Sooo Graceful !!!

Such stage presence, such passion...♡

Bravo TAIMANE, vous êtes incroyablement forte !!!!!!!!!!!

I m speachless, Nd having no words found to you ur performance...

So wonderful, i love you, Taimane with your band, magic music!

I thought I was flash when chucking on my uke.....Then she comes along and humbles me. If anyone wants to learn the uke, do it! It's a helluva fun ride!

This performance has to be the sexiest thing I've seen today.

Juste exceptionnel !!!! Merci !!!

Wonderful presence, you control the stage and audience! Thank you.

Taimane is so graceful and confident in her movements. I love it! Did anyone else notice that she wasn't wearing shoes? I loved the aesthetic of that ❤❤❤❤

Ela parece uma dançarina de ballet clássico que se arrependeu e virou música. Que incrível. Surpreso por ter tico tico no repertório transformado em tango. É, nós brasileiros continuamos a involuir.

Ok she is an Elite performer at the highest degree "

Her dancing, her look, and her playing are breathtaking.

Taimane, you are brilliant! Your moves, your smile, your time and integration, as well as being the BEST Uke player IN THE WORLD today! Enjoy life, dear one!

Whoa! Taking the ukulele and art to a whole new level. Nicely done. Opening up the possibilities for uke too. Much more than we ever realized. Thanks!

Essa música brasileira, magistralmente tocada por essa instrumentista espetacular...

 Aprenda a pronunciar For those who do not know, this song (Tico Tico no Fubá) is an old Brazilian instrumental of the genre (choro) composed by Zequinha de Abreu, and the name TicoTico is a Brazilian bird, and (Fubá) is ground corn flour . The song was composed honoring the birds that liked to eat the remains of corn in the old barns.

This is soo good! They all work so well with each other. She’s a real performer.

I'm a new fan! So incredible ... need MORE!

Bravooo!!! Lindíssimo!!!

Never seen such a great performer. Love you Ukulele artist, from India.

I am constantly amazed at performances like this that are impossible to do in my eyes.

All portals are open for you, due to your beautifull way or natural dancing. BELLISIMA

I need to see her live.

Mission impossible is just so amazing! 🎉🎉🎊🎊🎉
