Otonana Trio | Kentaro Saito

Thank you for supporting Otonana Trio! 🎸✨
Keep rocking and sharing the love with our music videos!

Otonana Trio hails from Tokyo, but you’re more likely to find this zany party funk band playing in the U.S.A. Kentaro Saito, Kazuhisa Maekawa, and Hikari Kuroda have played over 500 U.S. shows, evolving from jazzy roots to a high-energy funk sound.

Kentaro studied jazz at The Musicians Institute in Hollywood and The New School in Manhattan. Returning to Japan, he formed Otonana Trio with Kaz (slap funk master) and Hikari (the funkiest female drummer).

They self-produced five albums in Tokyo. Their live groove caught the attention of producer Robert Cutarella (Slash, Sting), resulting in "Jump: The Remixes" released on Mesa Blue Moon / Universal. Otonana Trio continues to bring their unique funk grooves to audiences worldwide.
