In 2005 when The Dun Laoghaire festival of world cultures asked Kíla to invite a musician to collaborate with they knew they had to ask Oki, he came and their time rehearsing together and playing at the festival in the beautiful setting of Monkstown Church sowed a seed that grew into this album. They knew that the music they were making inter weaving their respective traditional sounds was worth recording and so Oki came back to Ireland in 2006 and over a 10 day period in Kildare Kíla & Oki was made, we hope you enjoy...
Kíla first met Oki while they were on tour in Japan in 2004 where Dee and Rónán joined him on stage. It was a meeting of minds, hearts, music. Despite coming from such different cultures, Kíla and Oki shared their love of their traditions and cultures and their roles of ambassdors of them, both having played on the world music circuit for a number of years including the fabulous WOMAD festivals.
Kíla share Oki's mix of traditional and modern influences along with a strong sense of adventure and fun in their music it was inevitable that when these two met they would embark on an adventure together.
