Tokyo Indian percussionist pays homage to Hiroshima through music during Japan tour
Tokyo/IBNS: Indian percussionist Prodyut Mukherjee, a GIMA winner and Grammy jury member, concluded his five-city tour of Japan with a performance at the Embassy of India, Tokyo.
Held under the aegis of the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR), the musical tour also covered Hiroshima, Kyoto, Kofu, and Yokohama.
Mukherjee acknowledged the warm welcome accorded to him by the Indian ambassador, Sibi George, and was full of praise for the hospitality extended by the people of Japan.
He said, "This was my first visit to the land of the rising sun. My visit to Hiroshima was special as the city evokes memories of the nuclear explosion and my music has always been devoted towards building world peace."
