Ukulele Lady

On a minimal find graf hunt day, I came across this mural.

Artists: Tikay & Aner

It was in the process of being painted.

I met the artists.They spoke broken English. I spoke broken Spanish.

Despite the language differences, I learned that the artists were working with youths who had lost one or both parents to drug addiction.

I went back 6 days later to photograph the result.

The ukulele originated in Hawaii. It is related to several Portuguese instruments, in particular the machete and the rajão.
