Listening: A Radio Program about Music
LISTEN AND FILL IN THE BLANKS WITH THE WORDS YOU HEAR.
Track 3.11 B. Listening for Main Ideas and Page 156 C. Listening for Details
DJ Brian Johnson: This is Radio KBLM, and I’m your ____ ______1 , Brian host
Johnson. You’ve just heard a _____
_____2 piece of music by the great ___ lively ukelelee_______3
player Jake Shimabukuro. It’s from his album Peace Love Ukulele.
Why are we listening to ukulele music? Actually, that’s a pretty
good question. It’s not the kind of music we usually play on this radio
station. But Shimabukuro is not your ____typical______4 ukulele player, e ither.
Let me give you a little background information. Shimabukuro
is from Hawaii, and in Hawaii, the ukulele is a big part of the
culture. He started to _____perform_____5 his music in 1998, and in 1999, he
won a top award for his work with two other musicians. Soon after
that, Shimabukuro left the trio and began his solo career. He has become very _____
_____6 on the Internet, where you can download popular
his songs, or if you can’t afford music downloads, you can watch
videos of his ____performs______7 for free. He’s not a singer. What you’ll
see is just him playing the ukulele by himself, but you’ll hear some
of the best ukulele playing in the world.
OK, as I said, Shimabukuro is not new to the world of music.
Peace Love Ukulele was the ninth album he has made since
1999. But this album was ____differance______8 because for the first time,
Shimabukuro didn’t play alone, and here’s the reason: The ukulele is
a pretty simple ____instrument______9 . It’s small and has only four strings. Most
of the time, when Shimabukuro performs, he plays popular songs
that the audience already knows—songs by Michael Jackson, or
the rock band Queen, or George Harrison from the Beatles. He has to
interpret the music in his own way because he can’t play every note
on the ukulele. He says the ____audience______10 hears the rest of the song in
their heads—the parts that he isn’t playing. But Peace Love Ukulele
has some new songs on it that Shimabukuro wrote. The audience
hasn’t heard the songs before, so he wanted a fuller ____sound______11 —with
drums and bass and other musical instruments. His 2012 album,
Grand Ukulele, used a 29-piece __________12 behind Shimabukuro’s
uke. Nashville Sessions, his 2016 album, was the first that included
all-original songs. Shimabukuro has also written the music for two
Japanese movies, and for an American television show.
Trust me—you will want to hear his music. Shimabukuro plays
____several______13 different styles of music, so whether you like rock music or
classical music or traditional Hawaiian songs, something on this
album will ____appeals______14 to you.
OK, let’s hear a little more from Jake Shimabukuro .
