Led by jazz pianist Sachiko Nakajima, this multicultural band takes its name from a gently floating creature: the jellyfish—kurage. As the sounds and rhythms of Japan, Korea, and Senegal intertwine dynamically, we look for the sparkles that emerge from the fluttering swirl of music and cultures. Kurage Band is making their EC debut this year, ready for a rousing summer gig on Sado with a cast of five: Sachiko Nakajima (piano), Choi Jaechol (Korean drum), Abdoulaye Ndiaye Rose (African drums), Hiroshi Suzuki (saxophone), and Daysuke Takaoka (tuba).
