​The guitars of Cebu are known around the world. They are also one of the souvenir items visitors normally take home with them. But, Cebu also produces other stringed instruments that have also piqued the interest of visitors to the island. One of these instruments is the ukulele.  The popularity of the ukulele in Cebu has gradually grown in the past few years. In fact, there is a ukulele-themed café in Mactan catering to ukulele lovers in Cebu, the Uke Hub Kafe.

Ukulele

The ukulele is a four-stringed musical instrument that originated in Hawaii in the 19th century. It was based on a guitar-like musical instrument from Portugal. The name of this musical instrument comes from two Hawaiian words “uku,” which means reward or gift, and “lele,” which means to come. It is closely associated with Hawaiian music and culture since King Kalākaua promoted the instrument.

The Uke Hub Kafe is not a run-of-the-mill coffee shop in Mactan. It is a designed mainly for people who love ukuleles. Aside from the usual coffee shop fare, the place would offer ukulele classes for free. They offer these classes since the place is run by ukulele lovers.  A good number of their customers also share their passion of playing the ukulele.
