“Ukulele Flamenco” is ukulele and guitar virtuoso Tony Gamble’s tribute to the musical genre he loves - classical, flamenco and Latin music. What makes this album so special is that it is rare to find a ukulele flamenco album. Most people still have misconceptions about the ukulele as an instrument. It is as versatile an instrument as the guitar, violin, or piano. Gamble’s use of the ukulele for flamenco underscores this point with passion. This is not your typical ukulele album. It is a genuine Latin fusion record for anyone who loves flamenco. “Ukulele Flamenco” is a flamenco fusion style record packed with melodic instrumental melodies. It features solid song structure, "hooky" melodies with rumba rhythms and high energy percussion. This record will take you through a vast array of emotions with its fusion of Latin, world and flamenco music with some shred lead lines.
Tony Gamble was recognized by the Hawaiian Academy of Recording Arts in 2007 with a nomination for Rock Album of the Year for “Breaking Tradition”- the first ukulele album of its kind featuring hard rock with jazz and Latin elements. It was also nominated for the Hawaiian Music Awards for Ukulele Album of the Year.
