A ukulele flashmob at Northwest Folklife
Sunday May 26, 4:45 at the Fountain Stage
We will be singing "One Love" by Bob Marley. Click HERE for a link to a Youtube of the song and see the PDF below for the arrangement that we will be doing. It's timed to 6 min in length. Let's start early so those who are not familiar with a reggae beat can practice it and so you have a chance to memorize the song. Those who find it difficult to memorize can tape a cheat sheet on the side of their uke or write the words and chording on their forearm. Stuart Fuchs has some good reggae lessons online. Basically, reggae beat is on the 2 and 4.
The flash mob will be staged and choreographed to look as if it is spontaneous. Ukuleles will be hidden in large bags or backpacks until it is time for your group to begin playing. The idea is to build energy as the song is sung. A drummer will be there to keep us on tempo. Please do not bring music stands. Most of us will be standing. Later I will record my group doing the song and an mp3 will be available so that you have an idea of what it will sound like and for practice.
