Heartwarming musical unit by a married couple in Fukui “Kobato Sango” 


There was an annual concert at a neighbor’s community center the other day.  
The performer of this year was a musical unit “Kobato Sango” which is a married couple.
The husband Kobayashi is a teacher of erhu and plays the guitar too.
And his wife with the stage name Sango from Osaka, who is pretty and soothing,
sings and plays Okinawan instrument sanshin.
Their repertoire is “The song for Fukui City”, “Asadoya Yunta”, “Flowers”, ”Sukiyaki” etc.
Especially, “Turkish March” by erhu which Kobayashi plays is definitely worth a watch.
Also, Okinawan folk songs by Sango with her clear voice are so charming.
They have released a CD.
You can not only enjoy their performance but also their witty dialogue is amusing.
They are laid-back persons and it makes you feel warm inside. (H.S)
