Japan’s Kuricorder quartet to perform in Hanoi
(VOV) - Hanoi’s Voice of Vietnam Theatre will host the first concert of Japanese quartet Kuricorder’s latest Vietnam tour on November 1, followed up by the group with a second performance at the Japan Foundation Centre for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam on November 2.
The group was founded in 1994 by its four members Masaki Kurihara, Yoshiyuki Kawaguchi, Kenji Kondo, and Takero Sekizawa.
Kuricorder has won fame in Japan by collaborating with renowned singers and contributing to the scores of television programmes such as NHK’s “Pythagora– Switch” and the cartoon “La Maison en Petits Cubes”.
All of the quartet’s members are multinstrumentalists, playing soprano, tenor, and alto saxophones, upright bass, and ukulele. Their music ranges across the jazz, folk, blues, classical, and funk genres.
Free tickets are available from October 18 at the Japan Foundation Centre for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam.
The concert is also a part of celebrations for the 40th anniversary of Vietnam and Japan establishing diplomatic ties.
