SoSaLa Solo Performance @ Kingston’s BON ODORI DANCE DAY FOR PEACE

This Sunday, August 3rd, SoSaLa will perform at the BON ODORI DANCE DAY FOR PEACE at Kingston Point Beach (53 Delaware Ave, NY). He’ll play a soprano solo at 3:25 pm. He’s going to improvise and find the right sound for this event.
NO PEACE WITH AN APOLOGY!
He’ll try to make the audience aware that the US government owes Japan and its people an apology for dropping two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It was a criminal act and not a way to stop Japan from continuing its war with the US.
You can meet and chat with me at the Musicians For Musicians, Inc – MFM desk somewhere at the venue.

SoSaLa on Keyna Wilkin’s New York Sessions Digital Release

In April 2023, Australian musician-composer Keyna Wilkins visited New York and led several stream-of-consciousness recorded improvisation sessions with local New York musicians Michael Kevin Walsh (keys), David Belmont (percussion, poetry, and vocal sounds), Kevin Kuhn (electric guitar), Ron Wasserman (electric bass), and SoSaLa (tenor and soprano saxes, vocals, and clapping).

The sessions were arranged and facilitated by Musicians For Musicians, a New York-based musicians’ rights association, and SoSaLa. All tracks were recorded by Michael Kevin Walsh at The Smooth Spot (NY), mixed by Michael Kevin Walsh and David Belmont (a bandmate of SoSaLa), and further mixed and mastered by Matt Stewart at A Sharp Studios Sydney—artwork by Yoko Kuroda and Yogahatti.
