New Guinness World Record For Largest Ukulele Ensemble

The bar has been raised. Substantially. If you now plan to claim title to the Guinness World Record for greatest number of simultaneous ukulele players you'll need at least 2,134 friends to join you.

Ukulele players in Yokahama have handily beaten the old record of 1,547 players, with 2,134 players all strumming Aloha Mahalo A Hui Ho, a song written by Hawaiian-born sumo wrestler Konishiki Yasokichi.

As an added bonus. Colonel Sanders was on stage to witness the event. Link
