Kaz & Friends

“Kazahiro Inaba was part of a wave of visitors from Japan in the 1980s who were interested in the bluegrass, old time, and country music prevalent in the Appalachian region. Many of those visitors were skilled musicians in Appalachian music styles, and Kaz was especially talented – singing and playing banjo, guitar, mandolin, and fiddle. His warm personality and wonderful sense of humor also endeared him to many of the people he met in the region which he has visited many times since he first started coming to the US to visit and share in the music.” — Jack Hinshelwood
