Satoko  Kajita

Satoko Kajita's first CD "Life"

Satoko Kajita:sanshin & voice

Yoko Komori: piano

Recorded at Avatar Studios in NYC (January 2009)

Satoko's first CD lets you calm and comfortable with the tastes of the simplicity and nostalgia. With her sanshin (three-stringed guitar from Okinawa, Japan) and voice, you will remember something that has been sleeping in the bottom of your heart. The CD includes the songs from Okinawa, Japan, the American traditional songs and her original songs.

The CD is introduced in the digital JAZZIZ MAGAZINE  (page 37, on the top of the left side).

JAZZIZ MAGAZINE

The CD and her biography are introduced in New York Event Journal, YOMITIME Vol.120, and SHUKAN NEW YORK SEIKATSU PRESS (Weekly New York Life Press) Vol.270.
