HITCHHIKE RECORDS announces the release of not one, but two, new CDs byukulele and multi-genre star Jake Shimabukuro: His soundtrack music for the hit Japanese indie film "Hula Girls"; and a six-song EP, MY LIFE, which continues and extends the concept of his popular previous release, GENTLY WEEPS.
Hula GirlsJapan's 1 movie "Hula Girls" returned to the U.S. this year for a major coast-to-coast run after earning rave reviews at numerous international film festivals. The soundtrack, scored by Jake Shimabukuro, is an instrumental masterpiece, recently earning a Japanese Academy Award for Best Sound Recording. The disc features eight new recordings by Jake and two songs by Hawaiian female vocal group Na Leo. The uke maestro's tender ukulele stylings give dramatic effect to emotional scenes in the film.
"The HULA GIRLS soundtrack was equally as exciting because it was my first film score experience," says Jake. "It was a completely new concept for me and extremely challenging. Scoring for piano, guitar, and string quartet was an entirely fresh experience that has inspired me to learn more about orchestral arrangements and think beyond my own instrument, the ukulele."
