A new world record for the largest ukulele ensemble has been set in Yokohama, Japan, at the Ukulele Picnic Week event
More than 2,000 strummers gathered in Yokohama, Japan’s second-largest city, to trump the previous record set in Sweden.
The group was watched by Guinness World Records officials, AFP news agency said, and played a song called Aloha Mahalo A Hui Ho, written by a Hawaii-born former sumo wrestler.
They set the record during Japan’s Ukulele Picnic Week.
The diminutive guitar-shaped instrument originated from Hawaii, where it is also synonymous with hula dancing.
The previous record was set in August last year by 1,547 uke-wielding Swedes in Helsingborg.
