Updated:1 year, 9 months ago

Yokohama (Japan), Nov 21 (ANI): This autumn, Yokohama City resonated with music during the 4-day event "Live Yokohama." The city continues its efforts to become an even more vibrant and comfortable place to live. A standout feature of the event was a jazz band formed by local residents, bringing together both young and senior musicians. They delighted audiences with jazz renditions of popular anime songs. Yokohama boasts a rich connection to jazz. In 1925, the city hosted its first jazz performance, and by 1933, a dedicated jazz café had opened its doors. Today, with more than 40 venues, including live houses showcasing jazz performances, Yokohama is recognised as one of the world’s premier cities for jazz music. High school students also showcased their talent during the festival, performing music with wind instruments. Ten brass bands from schools nationwide participated, each with 50 to 100 students. These young musicians took on the challenge of performing beloved Japanese songs that have remained popular for over 70 years, preserving this timeless music for the younger generation. Yokohama citizens also had the chance to engage with music directly. Yamaha set up a special booth where visitors could try out eight different instruments, including the violin, saxophone, and drums. With its rich musical history, Yokohama City continues to evolve, making strides to become an even more vibrant, attractive, and comfortable place to live.
