Most Ukulele music is still traditional or folk Hawaiian music. When people think of the ukulele, that image of Don Ho, Hawaiian sands and breezy palm trees is still usually the image that pops into their heads, and rightfully so. However, there have been inroads in recent years in bringing the ukulele into more mainstream genres of music. More people are taking to the ukulele due to its relative short learning curve and portability, which means it is naturally seeping into other circles of musicians.
Ukulele covers of pop and rock songs are becoming more prominent. People like Jake Shimabukuro are dramatically increasing the allure of the ukulele. His popular and brilliant cover of former Beatle George Harrison's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is a YouTube sensation. So while most music is still relatively 'simple' in terms of what might be considered musical intensity, I think we are about to see a significantly greater presence of this fantastic instrument in the coming years.
