Bukhu had a chance to connect with many amazing performers at this years Australia’s National Folk festival. Here’s a video of one of his impromptu performances during the event with Hawaiian musician Daniel Ho.

Multi-Grammy award winner Daniel Ho performs his composition “Haiku” on ‘ukulele, accompanied by Mongolian throat singer and horse fiddle player, Bukhu.

“Haiku” is from Daniel’s album “Ukulele Classics & Originals”

The performance was part of Australia’s National Folk Festival 2012 at Exhibition Park in Canberra.
