The people from the Pacific Ocean archipelago came together to beat the 2014 Guinness World Record of the largest ukulele ensemble. And they made it. Congratulations !
Here's an impression of this unique event:
What a great example for the true ukulele spirit. Just imagine the setting if you'd put together the same number of drummers. They certainly had a good time at the world ukulele record 2015. And the party went on afterwards:
As you can see in the first few seconds of this video the plague of the " Selfie-Stick " has reached Polynesia.
As mentioned before this wasn't the first ukulele world record and it won't be the last. The American uke scene plan a huge playalong on 18 April 2015 in Los Angeles.
And what if they break the record ?
" Then we bring 10.000 people to the stadium next time. " said the Polynesian culture secretary.
Rock on Papeete.
Cheers

CORRECTION: Tahiti is not in the French Indian Ocean…it’s in the Pacific Ocean
