Congrats to Grammy Winner!
Koji Nakamura, master taiko drummer from the Shiga prefecture of Japan is the 4th musician in Japan’s history to be honored with a grammy. He recently moved to Los Angeles with a vision to share the spirituality and healing of taiko drumming. His dream of world peace and reverence for the beauty, power and art of taiko drumming is apparent when you hear and see him play. Nakamura’s high level of integrity and sincerity in the playing of taiko has connected him with world famous musicians, such as, cellist, Eugene Freisen and saxophonist, Paul Winter. The grammy was awarded for the cd entitled “Crestone” created by Paul Winter with beautiful guest appearances by Koji Nakamura. “Crestone” is a stunning portrayal and embracing of the nature of that area. One can feel the beauty of Crestone when listening to the cd.
Koji Nakamura will perform in Santa Fe at Santa Maria De La Paz on March 1st at 2pm in the Japanese Cultural Festival organized by Santa Fe JIN, www.santafejin.org . Please go to www.MadiSato.com for more details about Koji’s performance and the Festival.
