Then

Before KAWACHIAN had a name,
there was only a song.
(Masaki Wakabayashi and his wife, 2007)

Soul

Kawachi — the passionate soul of Osaka, Japan.

Sometimes called “the Latin spirit of Japan,”
Kawachi has its own unique culture,
its own dialect,
its own rhythm.

People laugh loud,
speak from the heart,
and turn everyday life into stories.

This is where KAWACHIAN was born.

Kawachi Soul.

河内 — 大阪の情熱的な魂
日本のラテンとも呼ばれるこの土地には
独特の言葉、リズム、文化がある
人は大きく笑い、心から語り、日常を物語に変える
ここからKAWACHIANは生まれた

 

 

 

 

KAWACHIAN

KAWACHIAN = People of Kawachi=河内人

Not a special place.Not a special moment.

Just laughing,talking,and sharing life.

Small happiness

hidden in everyday days.

Kawachi Soul.From Kawachi, Osaka, Japan.

特別な場所ではありません。特別な瞬間でもありません。

ただ笑い、話し、人生を共有しています。

小さな幸せが、日常に隠れています。

ＫａｗａｃｈｉＯｎｄｏ

A voice rises.People gather.The rhythm begins.

This is Kawachi Ondo.

A traditional storytelling music born in Kawachi, Osaka.

Its soul lives on
in KAWACHIAN.

From Kawachi, Osaka, Japan to the world.
