I was recently introduced to this fantastic Japanese duo by a pal and have been smitten ever since. There is something special about this music. I can't listen to it without smiling! I listen to the disc while riding the subway to work in the morning. I can't believe that I actually look forward to the commute! The subway tunnels ring with their pure harmonies.

Fave tunes: The Tide Is High, Teacher's Pet, I Wanna Be Your Girlfriend. (Heck, the whole CD is groovy. Who am I kidding?!)

I just saw them in concert in NYC last night. They must be seen to be believed...I love Petty Booka's harmonies and wry non-ironic sense of humor. They send you to heaven and back. Top notch covers of great songs and secret meanings come through like a bell...They strum their ukes beautifully in concert. If there is one record you buy this year, make it this Petty Booka compilation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great ukulele playing, vocal duo, December 28, 2003

This review is from: Let's Talk Dirty in Hawaiian: Best of Petty Booka (Audio CD)

Great uke playing from both Petty & Booka. Fun vocals, and a array of Hawaiian guitarists, slack key guitarists and other tiki style instruments. To say that this muis is kitchy is an understatement, yet these two gals are sincere, singing in English with Japanese accents. They especially swing hard on Sophisocated Hula, and thier uke skills are featured on a veiety of tracks including Ukulele Lady. The main reason to pick up this disc is for the hot ukulele playing of Petty-Booka and the charmin 1930's vintage rerto hot Hawaiian jazz covers of pop tunes! Fun and essential music, if you don't take it too seriously.
