The Jumping Flea

from Hawaii by Bobby "Guitar" Porembski

/

about

The ukulele is sometimes referred to as "The Jumping Flea" because of the way some of the players fingers used to jump around on the fretboard.


It could be that in 1879 in Honolulu, Joao Fernandes, who had just disembarked from Madeira, played the braguina with such virtuosity and speed that the Hawaiians, impressed with his jumping fingers, called the instrument the "ukulele", meaning dancing flea.
