Akane Concert: A Journey Through the Soul of Japan
Experience the Spirit of Tradition, Reimagined.
Step into a world where ancient melodies meet the pulse of modern expression.
Join Akane, Auckland’s own Japanese traditional music ensemble, for an unforgettable evening of sound, rhythm, and culture.
Formed in 2018, Akane brings together the haunting vocals of a Utaite, the electrifying energy of the Tsugaru shamisen, the delicate notes of the Shinobue bamboo flute, and the thunderous heartbeat of Wadaiko drums. Each performance is a powerful blend of authenticity and innovation— celebrating Japan’s rich folk heritage while infusing it with Akane’s bold, distinctive style.
