Ukulollo è Lorenzo Vignando, un ukulelista di Lucca.
Al Master Class, impareremo come far brillare le proprie canzoni usando molte idee facili ed efficaci. E per farlo, visto che siamo sotto Natale, suoneremo White Christmas, Jingle Bell Rock e Silent Night come non avreste mai pensato di poter suonare!
Concerto - Nella seconda parte ci divertiremo cantando e suonando insieme e vedendo cose che con l'ukulele non avreste mai pensato di poter vedere!
