Osaka Angklung Club Angklung is an indonesian traditional musical instrument made of bamboo. A different way to introduce this, to most people, odd instrument would be to say that music, on the Angklung, is not played but shaken to the audience. Come see what it is all about on Sunday at Ougimachi Park.

A HUNDRED BIRDS is a dance music unit led by producer/conductor Yoku, based in Tokyo, Japan. In 2001, Wave Music released the A HUNDRED BIRDS single BATONGA, which Japan's largest record shop reported as the second biggest seller that year after Daft Punk. The group performs AHB original tracks along with arranged renditions of favorite dance tracks. Some of our past performances have featured ORCHESTRAL VERSIONS of classics like "Love is the Message" to powerful interpretations of "Knight of the Jaguar", "Black Water" and even the recent MAW remix of Earth, Wind & Fire's "You Can't Hide Love". The melodies are filled with pure rays of sunshine and the spirit and vibe of each mix should easily work for anyone who is a fan of releases from artists such as Joe Claussell, Jay Denes and DJ Gregory.

Kris Roche A sunny day at the Boston Public Gardens are a home to many things, tourists, Swan Boats, Italian Ice and the music of Kris Roche. The son of wayfaring hippies, one from New York, and one from Tokyo, Kris moved to Boston at age 19 and has been making a name for himself ever since. One part Jason Mraz, one part Jack Johnson, and one part playing his heart out on the guitar like it was a djembe drum, his music is fun but sensible, sing‐along‐able but honest. Performing on the streets as well as in many venues across the East coast, Kris’ fan base continues to grow rapidly through his grass roots, do‐it‐yourself approach and by cultivating strong relationships with his supporters. One search of “Kris Roche” on Youtube yields numerous videos of him making music for passersby.
In a short time, Kris has journeyed from the parks of Boston to famous venues all around New York, from the Bitter End, the Living Room, and even Carnegie Hall. His debut EP Anything But Alone and his full‐length acoustic album Tales of Bufflebear are filled with songs that tell us how he got there. But most importantly, Kris’ music lets us know that despite his strong start, he is just getting warmed up.
“I feel like I’m a fly on the wall of a French Riviera dance club. The songs are light and refreshing like Jack Johnson with an edge but also very danceable; it’s hard to not let this music get you moving.” — What’s Up Magazine
