Me parece incre??ble tal talento a tan temprana edad, logra captar la atenci??n de manera inmediata. Me encontr?© por casualidad con su sitio en "my space" y estoy seguro ser?° alguien que dar?° que hablar en la m??sica folk. Espero pueda difundirse a??n mas su m??sica, creo que siempre ser?° apoyada una iniciativa as??, tanto por la autogesti??n como por el ??mpetu de sus acordes. Sergio, Chile.

Sir or Madam:

I object to your use of the term Parody."

Singing to an ululele accompanyment does not--in itself--constitute a "parody" : Al Yankovich with a ukulele might, and Tiny Tim's performances certainly did, but not La Nunes's (nor did Arthur Godfrey's or Ukulele Ike's--AKA Jimmeny Cricket) This woman's covers are well polished, performed, and produced. She's serious, albeit cheerful. Write about classical music, if you're seriously concerned about how grimly serious the artist is.

The ukulele is a cheap, readily learned and hardy little musical instrument. Many early music programs are now issuing ukuleles instead of the traditional recorder. They're just so much more fun! And, seriously, the kids learn lots more music, such as chord structure. It ain't a grand piano, but it deserves respect.

In the future, you will see a load of young people performing with the ukulele. Four string is not a negative (e.g. the violin). View them objectively.

Thank you,

Terry Miller: I'm totally with you. I can't see why you would call her covers parody and IMHO her best work are originals like "Into the Sunshine" (If it was up to me it would be a radio hit, it's way better than the shit we got to put up with on radio and MTV). I think she sound a lot like the dutch singer Anouk.

I am now a fan of Julia Nunes and think that she is really talented. I guess I live near her, but I haven't heard her sing yet at any clubs or events. WTF? Come one Julia, make some plans!!

Julia Nunes is an amazing talent and I'm definitely a fan for life. I just discovered her the other day on Youtube. Nunes was featured for a song call "Into the Sunshine" (one of her best original songs), and has nearly hit the 1 Million views mark. Yep, I believe we are watching the beginnings of a stellar career! Rock on Julia!
