The SUKIYAKI MEETS THE WORLD Festival

The SUKIYAKI MEETS THE WORLD Festival
takes place in Nanto-City (Toyama region),
670km2 wide (same as Biwa Lake or Singapore),
population of 60,000. Main activities are rice
culture and tourism (UNESCO world Heritage of
Gokayama). Nearest cities are Toyama-City and
Kanazawa-City (both pop.500,000). To Nanto
City, 2h30 needed from Nagoya and Tokyo, 4h
from Osaka. International flights to Toyama or
Komatsu from Seoul, Shanghai, Taipeh, Dalian
and Vladivostok.
Naming “Sukiyaki” comes from a world famous Japanese song by Kyu
Sakamoto, invitation to discover the diversity of our World. It is also a
famous Japanese dish mixing many different ingredients in a same pot.
All the program is defined by a volunteer staff team (200 persons), gathering
every Thursday all year long (25 to 30 meetings per year) to decide the shapes and
the contents of the festival.
Every stage, every workshop, every conference is led by a volunteer team.
Artist care, stage sound & lights, instruments, promotion, information documents,
designs, catering, etc… are thought and prepared by volunteers, from the
beginning to the end.

● Artistic priority is given to music rarely introduced in Japan: AFRICA, ASIA,
LATIN AMERICA, OCEANIA and sharing actual debates on identity, modernity and
westernization. Between 5 to 10 groups from abroad are invited every year. All these
artists stay for a period between 1 week and 1 month and lead a workshop course.
Local artists are also introduced (5 to 10 groups every year), in relation with those
debates.
● Almost all the guest take part to the workshops/classes. Symposiums, movie
projection, exhibitions are also presented.
More than 10,000 persons attend to the festival every year.
PRE-FESTIVAL PERIOD
Introducing World Music means working on its understanding. This is a key point
especially in such a rural area. With concerts and workshops throughout the year
in city’s old streets, temples, schools, hospitals…, Sukiyaki’s main goal is to make
those music living in Nanto area permanently, to allow a personal appropriation of
different cultures, to create curiosity and interest.
Many teams directly born from this workshop process now practice and
perform throughout the year:
- Sukiyaki Steel Orchestra (steel band for adults)
- Kibun Wa Caribbean (elementary school steel band)
- Salaam-Aleikum (African and Korean contemporary percussion group)
- Samulnori Shigu (children Korean percussion group)
- Sukiyaki Oyayubi Polorinz (African thumb piano group)
- Tu Maracca (Brazilian Nordeste percussion group)
The festival also proposes a residence program using traditional houses for its
guest artists, giving opportunities to create new performances, to practice, to record,
etc…
POST-FESTIVAL PERIOD

events, performances and workshop before or after the festival, in Tokyo, Nagoya,
Osaka, Fukuoka, Sapporo, etc... SUKIYAKI TOKYO (since 2011), SUKIYAKI OKINAWA
