Bon dia! I'm writing this from a hotel room in Sao Jose do Rio Preto in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Today we'll be teaching the kids "Kizuna" a piece written by Oguchi Daihachi, which will celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Japanese Immigration to Brazil.
“Kizuna” will be played by 1000 drummers in unison. Click here for more details.
It’s my third time here in Brazil, and Sao Paulo is starting to feel like a second home. The road signs have developed stories behind them and the shabby billboards remind me of colorful events that took place during my stay.
