Originally brought by Portuguese immigrant Joao Fernandes in Braguinha, a local form of the cavaquinho, from Madeira to Hawaii. There it got the name ""ukulele (jumping flea), which should reflect the impact of the Hawaiians at the sight of the rapidly moving fingers across the fingerboard of the instrument. From Hawaii, the ukulele came to Europe and was also well received in the music scene. Ever since Stefan Raab and ""TV Total"", the ukulele is a real cult musical instrument in Germany also!
