On Saturday, April 11, in Papeete, 4792 Polynesians met at To’ata Plaza to beat the world record for the largest gathering of ukulele players, previously held by Britain, with 2,370 players in July 2014.
You could hear it in the distance as all those amateur musicians gathered to play the melody of “Bora Bora” in unison, for 5 minutes.
Many personalities were present, including the President of Polynesia.
A real success, challenged by on April 18 in Los Angeles, but in vain… The Americans could only bring together 1000 musicians, but are already plotting their revenge.
So Tahiti holds the 2015 world record for the largest gathering of ukulele players and will perhaps even have a place in the Guinness Book of Records! (confirmation pending).
