Genting Highlands, Arena of Stars

 

30 November to 01 December 2007

 

 

Kitaro, whose real name is Masanori Takahashi never had any formal education in music. During his teenage years, he learnt to play the electric guitar by himself. Inspired by American R&B, he formed 'The Far East Family Band' and released two progressive rock albums. Later, during a tour to Europe in 1972, he was introduced to synthesis music and was fascinated by it. He then bought his first synthesizer and began experimenting with a rainbow of unconventional sounds.

 

His unique fusion of electronic artistry, traditional Japanese forms, and pop-inflected Western idioms created a rich, harmonic, and poetic sound that won the legendary artist a huge international following. Kitaro has won a Golden Globe Award for Outstanding Soundtrack on the movie 'Heaven and Earth', and a Grammy Award for 'Thinking of You'.
