Q Kendrick Live Review:
Just recently; I was fortunate enough to see the talented
Kiyomi Miyakawa of Yellow Soul with her equally talented
guitarist Issei. Her energetic, soulful vocals are
always a treat to hear and watch. The duo began their
set with an uplifting orginal balad called "JB" (Balad
song for an old man); followed by "Rafflesia"; a grooving
funk jam which featured some powerful quitar work
from Issei. Kiyomi's singing ability is always impressive,
but she really shined on their third song "Succeed."
Ms. Miyakawa has a great ability to express a wide
variety of emotions with her dynamic voice style.
This song really pleased the audience. It was no suprise
that the audience demanded an encore. Kiyomi and Issei
rewarded the audience with another original song written
by her called "Jambo". This heartfelt song speaks
of the physical and emotional hardships of life as
a child in impoverished Africa. It's a song of hope
as well as a dream that no one will have to suffer
as long as we work together to become a world family.
As I listened to this moving performance; watching
the audience sing along and truly enjoy their experience;
I was reminded that with every Kiyomi Miyakawa live
performance, everyone feels like family and hope is
alive and well in the world.
