MESSAGE:
Music represents culture and tradition. Through various musical experiences as a session drummer in Los Angeles, it has become my firm belief. When I joined the African drum circle, I communicated with other members through rhythm. At the same time, I appreciated the culture and tradition behind the music. I would love you to have the same experience as I did. It is my pleurae to share Japanese folk songs and discuss the culture and tradition conveyed by lyrics. Then you can realize a profound impression of the lyrics of songs and how beautiful the sound of the Japanese is. Are you ready?? Let’s learn Japanese folk songs with me!
