Kitarō
I will remember today for the rest of my life. Because today, January 6th, 2010 is the day I found out about the Grammy and Golden Globe award-winning Japanese musician, composer and multi-instrumentalist Kitaro. For over 30 years Kitaro has delighted consumers with his new age, symphonic and synthesized messages of peace and spirituality. And now he is delighting me.
I first heard his music while watching the Japan Broadcasting Corporation’s fantastic documentary series on the Silk Road called “The Silk Road.” I kept thinking to myself, “Where did this music come from?” Well… it comes from Kitaro. Sort of.
“This music is not from my mind.” Kitaro says, ” t is from heaven, going through my body and out my fingers through composing. My fingers move. I wonder, ‘Whose song is this?’ I write my songs, but they are not my songs.” Well then whose songs are they Kitaro?
