Yesterday was our concert with Mo Magic. We had Francis Wong and Wesley Ueunten do a jazz performance. Francis played the sax and Wesley did an awesome job singing and playing the sanshin (an Okinawan string instrument instrument). So it was great mixing the two styles, it really gave the idea that we can work well together even if we come from different backgrounds. It was a true intermixing of cultures.
We also had Dr. Yasushi Iwabuchi a researcher at UC Berkley teach everyone yosakoi- yosakoi is a Japanese dance. It was totally awesome and the kids really got into it. It was tons of fun and we video taped it so I'll post a link to YouTube when it gets put up. The interns and I will be editing the footage today and tomorrow, but our goal is to get it up before Friday. So check for updates you guys!
