Kagero
Printer-friendly version
Kagero's sound has been described as a melting pot of tonalities and rhythms from Asia, the Middle East, South America and Eastern Europe -- "Cultural Confusion". Sometimes the songs are beautiful imagery, sometimes sad folk tales, and sometimes silly songs about drinking. But the tunes are always fun, and the show is high energy dancing good time. As some have said: "Kagero's world music goulash is very tasty -- even if you don't always know what's you're eating."
"Rooted in uplifting elements from eclectic origins, "Japanese Gypsy Rock" unites Kagero's musical influences and talents into a cross-culture dance party."
