Tak Matsumoto and Daniel Ho, both GRAMMY Award winners, will be appearing at the GRAMMY Museum for an intimate Q&A and exclusive live performance this week. An Evening with Tak Matsumoto and Daniel Ho will take place at the Clive Davis Theater on Tuesday, Oct. 10th. Four days later there will be a special live concert at JACCC’s Aratani Theater with Tak Matsumoto and Daniel Ho on Saturday, October 14th.
The GRAMMY Museum Q&A starts at 8pm on October 10th, and the performance of their album Electric Island, Acoustic Sea is set to start at 7pm at Aratani Theater October 14th. Ho explains, The Electric Island, Acoustic Sea features an original collection of contemporary compositions rooted in the artists’ native cultures, “Our album is a musical convergence of our island cultures of Japan and Hawaii. We used traditional instruments like ‘ukulele, slack key guitar, ipu heke, taiko, sanshin, koto (June Kuramoto from the group Hiroshima recorded the koto parts) in our original music.”
