MINKA MINKA - Ukulele Improvisation

Here's a tune I vaguely remember from my school days (nearly 50 years ago). I couldn't even recall the title and thought it was a Russian tune until a friend told me that it is actually a Ukrainian folk song. Many thanks to Peter. Please visit his YT channel at:

Behind me you can see the Intercontinental, the first 5 star hotel in the historic centre of Kiev.

I am playing my Ohana TK-75CG.

@deach69 Lovely to hear from you, Deach. It would be my pleasure to teach your son. i warn you though, it is a long way to travel for a hour's lesson.

Very nice playing Ken! My son played his on his guitar last night. It didn't sound nearly as clean or lively as your version. Can I send him to you for lessons?
