Kanile'a

Kanileʻa ʻUkulele(カニレア・ウクレレ) は、1998年にハワイ・オアフ島でジョー・ソウザ氏とクリステン・ソウザ氏によって設立されたブランドである。

ジョー氏は、家族や仲間と歌い奏でる“カニカピラ”文化の中で育ち、名工ピーター “Uncle Pete” バミューデス氏のもとで製作技術を学ぶ。その後自宅ガレージで工房をスタートし、現在ではハワイを代表するウクレレブランドへと成長した。

伝統を大切にしながらも革新的な設計を積極的に取り入れており、独自の「TRUブレーシング」や快適性を高める各種構造など、演奏性と響きを追求した独創的な楽器作りで知られている。また、製作した楽器1本につき1本のコアの木を植樹する活動も行っており、ハワイの自然と文化を次世代へ繋ぐ取り組みを続けている。
