The nice thing, of course, about this "ukulele renaissance" is that the ukulele is finding its way into good musical groups as just another instrument with its own unique sound to add to the sonic mix.
A perfect example of this is the French trio "Les Poupees Gonflees". Valerie Charlot handles the ukulele in the group, but you can also hear them with guitars, accordion, concertina and, natch, three lovely vocals.
Valerie, Bebop and Titi.
The songs are bouncy, melodic and...uh...why don't you just listen for yourself:

And what doesn't sound better in French? Nothing, as far as I can tell.
A good example of this is the video-
La premiere fois
from: math112233
Tryo and the Ogres of Barback.
No ukes, but only a very, very, small price to pay. Try it.
They could be singing about shoving over 40 year old bald-headed mustached American men in a wood chipper and I'd be 5th in line...... Ukester Brown
The song is called "Where is he?", Ukester, so it's possible...?
That's what I get for not knowing French! haha Ukester Brown
