Kitaro - The Silk Road

Kitaro's music is fluid and harmonic, as he blends smooth electronic lines with influences from traditional Japanese music, rock, and the romantic Western tradition. Silk Road is a phenomenal success and very possibly the best Kitaro release. There are incredible transitions throughout the pieces, making this a true masterpiece and a treasure to own.

Kitaro - Caravansary

Kitaro has noted that his purpose with his music is to calm the inner person: "The wars of the world don't come from outer space. People create them, people who have a war within themselves. I want to create music that eases that war within."

Caravansary


Once a long long time ago
setting out find our dreams
lost in memories
of golden days
sometime rising in the spring
glowing shining game the sun
golden days means
come to till return
those who know the fire burn
try to find forever the dream
try to find forever the way
My way

Caravan journey in the sky
As the sun comes out
From the day
Caravan we know
Who we are
We discover
Where we went
Oh ohh caravan
There we find the love
Love shimmering
And soon our love
Is trough

Come with me
And take my hand
Memories of
Past unfold
And with I lived
Them once again
From my fading
Heart my hand
Feel my walk
In love with him
And I wander when
The spring will come
Do we ever really
Know for sure
Will we travel
On and on
Someday we'll be
Standing up
From today

Caravan journey in the sky
As the sun comes out
From the day
Caravan we know
Who we are
We discover BIS
Where we went
Yeah caravan
There we find the love
Love shimmering
And soon our love
Is trough

Kitaro - Dance of Sarasvati

Kitaro's music is a reflection of his reverence for nature and for the world as humanity's natural habitat. "Nature inspires me," he says. "To me, some songs are like clouds, some are like water."

The beauty of nature was part of Kitaro's earliest days. He was born into a Buddhist/Shintoist farming family in Toyohashi Prefecture in Central Japan in 1953. His rural youth gave him an early feel for the simplicity and grandeur of nature. "I found a place in nature when I was very young," he recalls. "And spirituality, I was always a universalist in my outlook."
