The Kalima Brothers, led by the pioneering ukulele virtuoso Jesse Kalima, revolutionized Hawaiian music by elevating the ukulele to a prominent solo instrument. In 1935, at just 15, Jesse captivated audiences with his rendition of "Stars and Stripes Forever," showcasing the ukulele's versatility. He innovated by introducing the low G tuning and amplifying the instrument, expanding its sonic possibilities. The Kalima Brothers' dynamic performances and recordings left an indelible mark on Hawaiian music, inspiring generations of musicians.
