Miho Wada Interview

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

Post your comments about our Miho Wada Interview and let us know what you thought of her.

“Complete magic… When we connect with the audience and we are all feeling the beat together — it’s just magic — there is no other feeling as special as that.” – Miho Wada

A Japanese family living in New Zealand once hired a piano teacher for their daughter. When it turned out that he was actually a flute instructor, young Miho Wada began a musical journey that would eventually take her around the world. With influences ranging from Anime theme songs, traditional Japanese music and Cuban salsa, Miho Wada has crafted a unique international sound around her passionate flute playing.

Now joined by her bandmates Colin Hunter, John McNab and Tala ‘Ofamo’oni, she is following up the release of “The Traveller” and “Traveling Bugs and Talking Shoes” early this year with their first Japanese Punk Jazz album “Postcards to Your Bed” and plans to perform at next year’s SXSW in Austin, Texas.

So come take a listen to the music and story of Miho Wada and learn the answer to a most curious riddle: What animal once tried to steal her hat on the way to school?

On November 27, 2009 Miho Wada was kind enough to give an interview to J-Pop World. Miho Wada Interview.
