Waikiki Beach Concert Series: Duo Takinai

This concert is a special partnership with Early Music Seattle. They helped select and sponsor SurLlajta.

Duo Takinai weaves a rich tapestry of world folk music with the soulful melodies and stories of East Asia, the Andes, and Sephardic traditions. Takinai is a mix of two words, the Quechua (Bolivian indigenous language) word “Takina” meaning “music”, and the Chinese word “ai 爱” meaning “love.”  Joined by the love for music, Duo Takinai (Ke and Reynaldo) interprets traditional and contemporary repertoire from Latin America, Eastern Mediterranean, and East Asia.  From their own distinct cultural heritages and musical backgrounds, the two multi-instrumentalists employ a wide variety of instruments such as the Andean and Asian wind instruments, world percussions, guitar, harp, piano, and more.
