Shoko Nagai's TOKALA explores the captivating sounds that bridge the ancient bond between Japan and the Middle East through the Silk Road. This remarkable cultural exchange has left an indelible mark on Japanese culture. Through the music of TOKALA, we are invited to appreciate and understand the enduring connection between the Far East and the rich Islamic world of the Middle East.
