[AirOutsideThSheepPen]

oh ok thanks. ive always wanted to go to africa too lol...i have a friend who lives in morocco, though that is very close to spain as well. i plan on visiting a few countries when i finally go

[oscarwayful]

@Eltimple Hola. Yo soy un vecino de la isla de Madeira. Me encantan instrumentos tradicionales. He comprado un Timple en la red y me estoy aprendiendo solo ... Pero nunca voy a jugar como este caballero Inglés

[Solstisol]

Tenerife, España, África.

Hola AirOutsideThSheepPen.

Creo que nuestro compadre inglés te está gastando una broma.

Claro que vivimos en España, tanto como los Hawaianos viven en EEUU, o los de Martinica viven en Francia, o los de Orcadas, en Escocia, incluso si siempre hay algún que otro borracho en alguna tasca de todos esos sitios que quiere hacer creer que su isla es un país entero.

Incluso a veces algún turista inocente acaba creyéndoselo.

Un saludo,

Solsti.

[Chasnero]

Yo creo que no le está gastando ninguna broma. Le dices España y va a mirar a Europa y a la Península Ibérica. En cambio le dices donde está realmente Canarias: en el noroeste de África, y lo entiende.

Sí, hay algún turista que otro que se cree que las islas están en el mar de Cádiz o en el mar del Alborán. Pero no, estamos frente al Sáhara.

Saludos.

[IHateMondaysToo]

@Eltimple Let me suggest Gran Canaria

[LornaCole]

Quite an example of great cultural mix.

O también "very well, Manuel" o "very good fandango", maestro :-p

[TheMartika1987]

oss mira el inglés , que nivel jajajaja

[jomeraa7]

toma toma toma jajjajajja que bueno el tioooooo eyesque algo muyayo que se enyurgaaaaaaaaaaa

[Desde1949]

El timple nación en la isla de Lanzarote y hoy es orgullo y seña de toda Canarias.

[Ekkaden]

Estás hecho un puntal; ¡ el timple, ese compañer imprescindible de toda parranda, jarana o juerga que se precie!

[Eltimple]

Ole muchacho!

[Solstisol]

You can still hold your WHAT in one hand?

This instrument is obviously a fore-runner of the ukulele, as that was first used in Hawai by Macaronesian islanders who were encouraged to move there to show the natives how to farm volcanic island ground more efficiently. They would have made their own version of this same Macaronesian instrument, would they not?

[Ekkaden]

This instrument is called Timple. Its origin is likely South America or Canarias. I didn't know that Macaronesian islander ( Canarian people indeed) were encouraged to move to Hawaii, but to America. Even I thought that Hawaiian people knew how to farm their own land before the arrivals of European.

[Solstisol]

Yes, we know, what it's called, as the title above and the clip includes it.

It's origin is obviously not the New World, but rather African, Asian or European.

Hawaii is part of America.

You may notice that European farming practices are now widely used in Hawaii.

[Ekkaden]

I notice that European farming practice are now used in Hawaii, but, we, the Canarian people are African, and I thought you meant that Hawaiian didn't farm their land.

[Solstisol]

Yes, we all know that the Canaries are African (more a geographical than a cultural term), but you mentioned the arrival of the Europeans in Hawai, and as they had arrived in the Canaries first, they were then already using more modern and efficient farming methods.

I don't know if the Hawaians farmed their lands before this.

Maybe they didn't need to, if natural resourses were abundant enough.

Why does it matter?

[Ekkaden]

That does matter for me, becouse the Canarian People didn´t emigrate to other place but America, Latin America mainly. So it's hard dificult that in 17th and 18th centuries we knew the ukelele.

[Solstisol]

Ekkaden, it seems to me that you've got it backwards.

I'll give it to you in plain English:

First of all, there's no "we".

We're talking about dead people here.

Anyway, some Macaronesians who moved to Hawai made a close copy of their own

traditional instrument, known in Spanish as a "timple", and in

Portuguese as a "cavaquinho".

Then the Hawaians learned to play it and gave it a new name in Hawaian: "ukulele".

That's all there is to it.

Or did I miss something?

[Solstisol]

Ekkaden, me parece que lo tienes al revés.

Te lo explico en español clarito:

Antes de nada, no hay ningún "nosotros".

Estamos hablando aquí de personas muertas.

En fin, algunos macaronésicos que emigraron a Hawai hicieron una buena copia de su propio instrumento tradicional, conocido en español como "timple", y en portugués como "cavaquinho".

Luego los hawaianos aprendieron a tocarlo y le dieron un nuevo nombre en hawaiano: "ukulele".

Eso es todo lo que hay.

¿O hay algo en que no caigo?

[melouski]

The timple is thought to have derived from the Spanish Baroque guitar which was much smaller than a normal guitar. The Canary Islands are off the coast of Africa but we do not have an african culture, we have a mixture of spanish culture and some cultural aspects come from the Guanches, the first inhabitants of our islands.

[Chasnero]

¿Y los guanches que son vikingos? ¿y los moriscos esclavos que poblaron masivamente las islas orientales (lanzarote y fuerteventura)? Les recuerdo que se tiene como lugar de origen de la aparición del timple la isla de Lanzarote. Y también les recuerdo que una de las características diferenciadoras del timple, su peta trasera, no es que sea muy ibérica ni europea. Otro dato; los instrumentos en España son introducidos por las poblaciones islámicas que invadieron la Península Ibérica.

[Mcflai]

A surprise to see an english guy with a timple, you also know some lyrics. Great!

Gracias por sentirte atraido por algo tan tipicamente canario. ;)

[MrSniper1000]

I thought it was a bit like a ukulele! When you mentioned it just as I was thinking it I was surprised. :D

[guasaa]

qué grande!! Tocas muy bien. Very well played.

[tryuker]

Well done!! I'm a long time uke player also, and bought a Timple when on holiday in Gran Canaria some years ago. It's good to promote the instrument as so few know about it in the U.K. Keep up the good work. Dave Gibson.

[Eltimple]

Thats a good uke name Dave

[tryuker]

Thankyou for your compliment. It's the first time anyone has ever replied to anything i've said. I also have a Bandurria, four Ukes,soprano,tenor and velum type.Mandolin and Guitar,plus Violin and Balalika.Next year going to Peru to pick up a Charango. An expensive way to add to my collection!! I have enough now to share amongst my nine grandchildren.(I'm a young 72 year old) that accounts for me rambling on a bit,sorry! Maybe we could meet up on our next visit to the islands. Regards.DG.

[LyrumusX]

Nice instrument, and well played ;) Thanks much for the vid.
