Pre-Festival Webinar: Japanese American Folk Music, Traditions in Motion

Japanese American music is more than a simple set of translocated or adopted musical traditions; it has been shaped by complex histories of immigration, labor, confinement, hybridity, and community organizing. Music has played an important role in the formation of distinct Japanese American and Asian American identities, such as with the development of North American Taiko, as well as a locus for Japanese American involvement in a shared Americana. This panel looks at different experiences by Japanese American musicians, exploring ways in which music moves in community.

Pre-event Panel for the 2023 Davis Cherry Blossom Festival featuring an intergenerational panel of Japanese American Artists. Panelists include Carlo Watanabe (Nissei, Davis Diplomacy), Roy Hirabayashi (Sansei, San Jose Taiko), Michael Yoshihara (Yonsei, Chidori Band), and Sydney Shiroyama (Yonsei, TaikoIN').

STOP ASIAN HATE.

​Amidst the rise in violence directed at Asian Americans over the past year, and in the wake of the racialized murders of Asian women in Georgia on March 16th 2021, the Davis Cherry Blossom Festival team expresses grief and calls for all members of our community to help bring about awareness and change.
