Event
"Jake Shimabukuro:Life on Four Strings" a film by Tadashi Nakamura
Through intimate conversations with Shimabukuro (she-ma-BOO-koo-row),Life on Four Strings reveals the cultural and personal influences that have shaped the man and the musician. On the road from Los Angeles to New York to Japan, the film captures the solitary life on tour: the exhilaration of performance, the wonder of new found fame, the loneliness of separation from home and family.
Archival footage of Jake's performances from teenage years to present shows the evolution of an artist. Jake discusses his musical influences,starting with traditional Hawaiian music and performers such as Eddie Kamae, whose interpretations of musical genres outside the standard repertoire encouraged Jake to experiment on his own. He began to compose and play rock, pop, jazz and classical music on the instrument, which, outside of Hawaii, was mostly viewed as a novelty.
Come join us and share this unique and wonderful journey of Jake Shimabukuro:Life on Four Strings.
