Sweet Hollywaiians

The group, founded in Ōsaka in 2002, consists of Tomotaka Matsui, Mario Takada, Takashi Nakayama and Kōichi Tsutsumishita, four former street musicians, each of whom plays ukulele as well as several other stringed instruments such as guitar, banjo and bass, so that the band always acts as a combo. Musically the group is focused on music from the 1920s to the 1930s: Hawaiian music, Jazz, Blues, ragtime and others. To date, they have released several albums and have appeared in Japan, North America, Australia and Europe.
