Kitaro to perform in Genting

Musical maestro Kitaro is set to enthral his fans and music lovers at Genting’s City of Entertainment on March 7.

Kitaro first two albums Ten Kai and From the Full Moon Story, after he began his solo career in 1977, became cult favourites of fans of the nascent of the New Age movement.

He performed his first symphonic concert at the Kosei Nenkin Kaikan in Shinjuku, Tokyo.

During this concert Kitaro used a synthesizer to recreate the sounds of 40 different instruments, a world’s first.

Be mesmerised: Catch Kitaro at Arena of Stars, Genting Highlands on March 7.

But it was his famous soundtrack for the NHK series Silk Road that brought him international attention.

Over the years, the Grammy award-winning producer, musician, composer and arranger has been awarded recognition for his work and in 1988 his record sales soared to 10 million worldwide.

Kitaro is also known for his strong advocation of peace and spirituality. In the wake of 9/11, the artiste began recording Sacred Journey Of Ku-kai, a series of peace-themed albums (Vols 1-3).

In 2007-2009 he launched the “Love and Peace World Tour,” an international tour with which Kitaro hoped to inspire his message of world peace with his music.

喜多郎分享音樂‧替粉絲合奏

• 

  有份出席的張起政（右）也不忘贈送個人專輯喜多郎，希望以後可以合作。

（吉隆坡）國際知名音樂大師喜多郎（Kitaro）來馬，個唱第2天特別抽空赴環東藝校，並進行了一場音樂上的學術交流。

除了聆聽環東藝校學生們的音樂作品，大師更為大家呈現一曲，出席者可真是耳福不淺噢！

喜多郎聚精會神地聆聽學生們的演奏，更不時隨著音樂輕輕哼唱並搖擺著身體，當遇到緊張而凸槌的表演者，他也不吝於微笑地給予鼓勵。陪同大師而來的還包括知名女歌手林淑蓉，兩人坐在嘉賓席上，不時露出滿意的微笑。

Kitaro喜多郎更現場講評，他表示音樂無論是使用任何樂器或是哼唱的音符，任何的聲音都可以是音樂的呈現。他覺得音樂能夠促進心與心之間的溝通，以音樂來交流。

音樂大師魅力果然非同小可！數位支持Kitaro喜多郎長達20年之久的忠實粉絲突然帶著收藏品及樂器湧上前索取簽名及合照，並表達對偶像的仰慕，其中一名粉絲更在毫無預警之下以自備的樂器演繹兩曲，大師見狀也以鋼琴合奏，這名粉絲還真是賺到了。

最後，欲罷不能的他們還想與大師做更近距離的接觸，如此“熱情”，還真讓人吃不消！最後還是在工作人員的勸說下，才使活動能夠繼續下去。

在活動結束後，喜多郎將會到新加坡的郵輪上演出，視大馬為第二個家的他向大家承諾明年他一定會在回到大馬。
