HIGHLIGHT:
Join us for our third Virtual Tomodachi Gala! During this year’s event, Jake Shimabukuro will receive the 2022 Tomodachi Award from the Japanese Cultural & Community Center of Washington (JCCCW). The award recognizes his many years of promoting and celebrating the U.S. - Japan relationship through music and education. The event will be held on the JCCCW YouTube channel, where Jake will hold a small performance as well! Please, join us in celebrating this cultural icon.

TOMODACHI HONOREE:
Jake Shimabukuro is recognized as the world’s pre-eminent ukulele artist and musical ambassador, recently nominated by President Joe Biden to serve as a member of the National Council on the Arts. Jake, who is proud of his Okinawan heritage and Hawaiian roots, has millions of fans who admire him as an ukulele virtuoso, composer and producer. He has created soundtracks for Japanese films, and he's played in some of the world’s most prestigious concert halls including the Hollywood Bowl, Lincoln Center and the Sydney Opera House. His repertoire includes classical, jazz, rock, Hawaiian and Japanese stylings and everything in between. His newest album “Jake & Friends” pairs him with musical legends like Willie Nelson, Jack Johnson, Bette Midler, Jimmy Buffett and Kenny Loggins. The JCCCW is also recognizing Jake’s philanthropic work through The Four Strings Foundation, which supports ukulele music instruction in the nation’s public schools.
