Saturday 24th August – 6pm at Lafcadio Hearn Japanese Gardens Tramore
Yasuko Naka is a professional performer of traditional Irish music and made her debut from a major label in Japan in 2007. She has published four CDs and a songbook that feature Irish traditional songs and has given several live shows every year. She has expanded her performances and activities in public events including St. Patrick’s events in Japan as well as in receptions hosted by the Irish Embassy in Japan. She has sung national anthems of both Japan and Ireland in those events.
Naka has shown enthusiasm in improving her skills of cultural understanding and traditional Irish singing by visiting Ireland and receiving lessons from local Irish singing tutors. She has expanded the list of songs that she can sing in Gaelic language as the result of these tuitions in Ireland.
Naka started her entertainment performance career at Takarazuka Revue, a Japanese professional musical performance group, in 1983. She is a member of Japan Celtic society, and a member of Shamrock Ladies Society of Japan.
