Allala, Chris Holly, Brandon Hernandez, Zach Castillo, Mie Hammel, Richa Pandhi, Emi Tanaka, Kayvan Khiabani Kazaguruma: Kazaguruma means Windmill in Japanese. This piece uses the idea of how windmills use natural resources to create energy. When we play taiko, we collect all the natural resources around us and create positive energy. Sensei no Uta: It means "Teacher's Song". We learned this piece from the Grand Master Seichii Tanaka, founder of San Francisco Taiko Dojo and Grandfather of North American Taiko. Wachi: Written by KODO's Yoshikazu Fujimoto, this song was written as a representation of the festivals of his home town. Gendai ni Ikiru: Written by Gary Fujimoto of One World Taiko, it means "Living in the Present." This song as a great way to think of life: Good or bad, positive things will come out of any situation or opportunity. Please enjoy the little things in life! Kaminari: This is LVKT's signature piece. Kaminari means Thunder and represents how a Las Vegas storm (specifically) comes in slowly and from the distance, is very powerful, disappears, and returns for one final statement. Our special guests for this song are Zach Castillo and Brandon Hernandez from Kajukenpo from the Heart. elan cS. 2detv, 9750 Covington Cross Drive, Suite 100 Las Vegas, NV 89144 Office: 702.341.7979 Fax: 702.341.9266 islanddentalcenter.com Congratulations to the members of the Las Vegas Buddhist Sangha on their 24th Anniversary Obon Festival!
