Robert Browning Associates presents

Saturday,  May 14, 2016 at 8:00pm
ANNA SATO & SHINGO MAEYAMA
with special guest KAORU WATANABE

Songs of Amami Island, Japan

Roulette, 509 Atlantic Avenue (at 3rd Ave), Downtown Brooklyn

 THEY 
Anna Sato and Shingo Maeyama, two of the island’s most famous artists of the younger generation, perform the folk music of Amami Island in western Japan, providing the New York audience with the rare opportunity to hear this hauntingly beautiful music. Ms. Sato (vocals), who began singing shimauta (community songs) at the age of three, is joined by Shingo Maeyama (vocals, sanshin-plucked lute), an Amami Folk Song Award winner. While harnessing the moving melodies of shimauta passed down for generations, each artist is a seasoned master of their craft and a pioneer in new expressions. Their music is unmistakably Japanese and yet universal in its appeal, delivered with remarkable virtuosity. They will be joined by Kaoru Watanabe who specializes in the taiko drums and shinobue flute.
