Bio / Background
Recipient of a 2004 NAPPA GOLD Award, iParenting Media Award, and Parents' Choice Approved Award!
Through a series of far-fetched coincidences (you can read about them in the liner notes!) these three unique Pacific Northwest artists have met and released their first recording together, Island Dreams. True to Koto World style, it is uniquely inspired acoustic music, this time with hues of island sound brought to life by sanshin, guitar, koto, and ukulele. It combines musical traditions from Okinawa, Japan, Hawai'i and beyond with the individual approaches and creative arrangements of these talented multicultural musicians. Sung in English, Okinawan, and Japanese (and a little Hawaiian and Tahitian!) the music is as uplifting and nurturing as an ocean breeze.

There is something about the koto that is so relaxing. It brings about a quite relaxation that is simply beautiful. This album is definitely a keeper in my book. Excellent use of the Koto. The notes are clear, beautifully played with true feeling. Vocals vary but in several cases maintain more traditional over tones such as Hatachi Miyarabi. Goes well with the Koto
