I chose this piece by Jake Shimabukuro for a couple reasons. First of all, this is not the kind of music many of us are used too. But, he continues to amaze everyone with his amazing talents. Shimabukuro also recorded and dedicated a piece to the Japanese-American soldiers who fought and died in World War II. Shimabukuro grew up in Hawaii, and many of these men were also from there. This is why he was compelled to really embrace his cultures music and make it popular.
