My remade KIMONO Dresses were rent to a concert of OKALINA. OKALINA is a pottery flute born in north district of Italy 1800 years ago. The name of OKALINA means “small goose” expressing the external form.
“We are exciting to wear these remade KIMONO Dresses like when we were a bride.” When one of the player told that, the audience gave big hands. The atmosphere suddenly became bright and gorgeous. The effect of costume is incredibly workable !
The 3 players have taken lessons for long time and played in some places as volunteer. I am sure the sound of OKALINA cures the audience better. I had prejudged OKALINA was good at something heavy ethnic, but changed my mind. It was suitable to “Dance of white swine” by Tchaikovsky and jazz song ”Fly me to the moon”. And the last song “HANAWASAKU (Flower blooms) ” which was composed for Tohoku Earthquake Reconstruction was the best one for me among over 20 songs.
I hope my flier attached to the program will bring new encounters. And I am very glad to let people feel happy through my remade KIMONO Dress.
