Ethiocolor has been busy in Japan. We performed a concert in Tokyo, offered a DJ session, gave a talk and demonstration of Azmari music, and improvised with Kurage Band in Osaka. We're getting ready for another concert in Osaka tomorrow. We are so thankful to Junko and Pentatonic Revolution for this opportunity to learn from fellow artists in Japan, and to share our Ethiopian music and dance! The more we travel, the more we know that humans around the world have many things in common - we suffer from pains and enjoy life in much the same ways. Music and dance help us feel these connections. We have big respect for organizers, funders, and supporters of intercultural exchange programs. There is still a lot to do; we have just begun our journey. Thank you all who have made us feel at home in Japan! Yours, Melaku
