Carlos Santana, meticulously thumb-picked on four nylon strings with supreme agility & accuracy. You certainly are a great talent, Kris Fujichami. The backdrop mountainous green nature compliment the environmental acoustics and your natural skill on your instrument. You are much admired and respected. With humble gratitude for sharing your talent with us.

I agree, it is impeccably the best cover song and I'm 66 and have seen them 3 times!

Yes. I've watched it more than a dozen times and sent it to both my ukulele and non-ukulele playing friends. This is just great talent and musicianship.

Kris is brilliant

This is one of the greatest improvisation of Europa that I have ever encountered. Beautifully done. Love it.

Absolutely love this musical rendition and I'm sure Santana would be too. I watch this over and over again and I still will STUNNING

And I thought no one could ever best Carlos Santana's version of Europa. You just did. Damn! Mr. UKEMAN !!!!

This is so beautiful and the ambience, the nature...this is Musical Heaven on Earth.

I listen to you guys everyday to keep my sanity during these chaotic times

One of my favorite songs for the last 40 years...and this version is unforgettable!

This dude is doing SANTANA on a ukulele!! And smashing it!!

Oscar Hernandez I don’t think there is such thing as master piece when it comes to Santana all of them are masterpieces

Oct 4 2020 and still listening to this beautiful rendition of Europa - very skilled artist🌺

Great shift to electric guitar sound towards the end as you paid homage to Carlos Santana, without overpowering the earlier sound of the ukelele. Fantastic performance.

Amazing how he makes the ukulele sound like an electric guitar.

Woooooaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh I love it when Kris turned his distortion on his uke such POWWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRR!!!!! AMAZING BAND!!!

This is really BIG in our 7,000 + islands that are The Philippines........UKULELE groups, bands and organizations.....with Festivals and the like, but nothing compares to Hawaii's !

Amazing. The Ukulele is such a beautiful sounding instrument especially when picking. Europa is the perfect song to play on the Uke.

OMG... I'm gonna have to watch/listen to this another 100 times again.

Tears of joy are streaming down my face. So beautiful!!! Thank you, Carlos, for the composition! Thank you, Kris and friends, for sharing your love!

It hurts but it feels good

So beautifully played, cant stop playing it, what a wonderful, soulful rendition. Amazing!

Another outstanding performance, brotha you are possessed!

Your music is truly making this world a better place.

The bass the beatbox everything is perfect

This is simply the moat beautiful version of Europa I've ever heard. Soulful, and exquisitely melancholy. Thank you, Mr. Fuchigami and Co.

Amazing

Amazingly smooth, just like the original Santana! Never thought the ukulele can sound like this.

My wife and I decided to visit Hawaii sooner than our plan after listen this beautiful performance. Kris Fuchigami is real Mc Coy!!!

This music has put me under the spell...alluring and magical...

my heart just melted

Kris is amazing to listen to. So mesmerizing I can listen to this all day long. Please post more of this.

I absolutely love this piece of music and listened to it about three times in a row! On top of the music, his parents should be proud as he's quite a good looker with that smile of his! All I can say is thank you and keep up the good work!

it's been a while since i visted HiSessions channel. now I'm stuck on Kris' jams. lookinhg for one i don't like and cant. love them all. gotta fly out and see him live.

This guy is gifted! Nice his own version!

This is a fantastic cover of Europa. Hope he will be cutting a CD soon and if he has where can you buy it.

He's really good!

So...Santana jammed, Gato was undeniably sensual and for this I have no words. Wow. I need to hear more of this. He took it up to a whole other level. Que bueno!!

volvi a soñar y vivir, ahora veo los colores de la vida mia

To find the range to play this with only 4 strings says one thing.....He is a master....from the heart bruddah

The Best Cover Of EUROPA!!! Hands Down. Thank you Kris! Plus the best backup band you'll ever wish for! A M A Z I N G !!

Fantastic cover. Kris has got that Uke soul. He's amazing. The whole band was wonderful, but I especially liked the cool haole on drums!

omg!! Dude! too good...

Thats what i call touch an instrument with heart and pasion! Its feels like we were there!

LOVE THIS CANT STOP LISTENING TO IT Thanks Kris

im speechless!!!

amazing play by Kris...MASTERPIECE...anyone know the bassist name?he is superb

Absolutely outstanding, as always. Probably one of the greatest versions of this song.

So much emotion in his music, he can do magic with his eukelele, bravo!

Outstanding. Marvelous! World class.

I wish I was the dude sitting on the wooden box hes bad ass

I revisit thi youtube after 5 years.... good performance

Awesome acoustic, so island, so Ohana, so very Ono..from 671 to 808 Mahalo & Hafa Adai

I can't believe I only found this version now and man just love it so immensely Kris you nailed it excellent and with your mom on keyboard bass player and box drummer awesome job guys if ever you perform on Maui I would be there for sure.

Amazing Brilliant Best version ever

This cat is beyond fantastic!!!

WOW...

SO PRETTY.........I WANT TO CRY FOR HAWAII.........

Wow!!! He KNOWS what he's doing! This was a fantastic cover. Congratulations to Kris!

AMAZING!!! Goosebumps everywhere on my body, thanks for awesome sounds and sharing it with us!

I'm seriously impressed

Talk about and amazing talent! I love music and always loved the ukulele. I just started playing myself. I'd be overjoyed to have 1/8 of this kids talent.

My mind can go in so many places just sitting, closing my eyes and listening this masterly talent

Beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome rendition of "Europa" Your musicianship is music to my "Soul" Much Mahalo!!!!!

It is magic, bellisimo.

Thankyou to all the group wonderful music makes the heart sing

Pure gold....

wooowwww...what a fantastic romatic performance.. wow...excellente!!!!

just beautiful Kris can''t stop watching the video

At first I did not recognize it, but when everyone kicked in, amazing sound.

Just stunning music. Pure bliss !!!!!

who dislike this, must be out of your mind, this is beyond heaven

who needs a guitar when you have a ukelele? your tone sound great btw

Amazing! Wonderful!

That was absolutely superb playing by Mr Fuchigami!! I also think the backing musicians did a fantastic job for the piece. Their names and instruments deserve to be mentioned in the "about" section. This should be a policy for all HiSessions recordings. I love this recording initiative and look forward to seeing more. You have a very keen fan of HiSessions here!!
