71-year-old Grammy and Golden Globes Award-winning composer, and musician Masanori Takahashi (高橋 正則), or better known as KITARO (喜多郎) is set to reconnect with his Malaysian audience after a seven-year absence. Organized by Star Planet, KITARO’s highly anticipated tour, “The Best of KITARO Live in Malaysia 2024,” will take place on our local soil later this year.
Renowned for his diverse and multifaceted musical abilities, KITARO’s signature style fuses contemplative, evocative, highly melodic synthesizer work with acoustic instrumentation, delivering messages of peace and spirituality. His repertoire spans across genres such as New Age, environmental, instrumental, electronic, and folk music.
With intricately crafted compositions, the Japanese recording artist invites listeners on an immersive musical journey at his upcoming performance. His melodies are set to resonate profoundly, forming a captivating musical narrative that transports audiences into a realm of enchantment and introspection.
With a career spanning over four decades and encompassing more than 24 albums, he has garnered impressive 17 Grammys Award nominations, and won the Grammy’s for Best New Age Album with “Thinking of You” in 1999, marking a pivotal moment in his career. Rising to prominence since the 80s, KITARO became a household name, one of the few Japanese musicians to achieve global recognition. His iconic works, including “Silk Road,” “Thinking of You,” “Heaven & Earth,” “Matsuri,” “Reimei,” and “Water of Mystery,” continue to resonate with audiences globally.
