Workshop content

A “Japanese-style voice percussion free lesson” was held on 8/20 (Sat).
The lecturer is from July this yearJapan Expo Paris 2016We welcomed artist Waccha, who also performed in and is attracting attention overseas, and learned the colors of “Voipa,” which anyone can easily master.

Right after the workshop started, Waccha, dressed in kimono, performed her original Japanese-style voice percussion right in front of the Moshi Box. The unique performance, which made you feel the Japanese atmosphere, attracted the enthusiastic attention of foreign travelers visiting Harajuku.

The music-loving man who came from Georgia immediately hit it off, such as rapping in response to Waccha's voice percussion. The two of them also took on the challenge of performing with a high level of difficulty, and deepened their friendship across national borders.
Also, the group of 4 Asians who were strolling around Harajuku learned the 4 basic sounds, and at the end, everyone enjoyed a lively session.

Sound and rhythm communication that transcends words made the expressions of visitors shine vividly, and colored their summer memories.
