Taikoza Performs in Inwood's Isham Park
An annual Inwood gem, Taikoza gave its free concert in Inwood's Isham Park today. The performance, as always, was wonderful, but my favorite part was watching the little kids dance and play throughout the park. Families even had dinner delivered to the park, causing some confusion for at least one Chinese food deliveryman.As you can probably tell from the photos, everyone had a lovely time.

From article by Mr Kishi appeared in Hogaku Journal, Tokyo Japan:
“ An amazing shakuhachi player Marco Lienhard has come out with a new CD, truly a very gifted and wonderful sense of musicality. Not since Yamaguchi Goro’s rendition of Kinko Honkyoku music have I felt the need to listen to more of his music. His rendition of Honkyoku form the Watazumi school is incredible and everyone studying the style should listen to it. His powerful and heartfelt rendition of Amazing grace reminded me of such gospel singers as Mahalia Jackson.
