DUO EN: News

EN: AFFINITY was played on Seattle's NPR station KUOW on Nov. 17th on "The Beat." Archives of the tapes can be ordered from: www.kuow.org

The calligraphy you saw when you entered the site was drawn by Tomi Ito Levin, an artist in California. Her work will also grace the cover of our upcoming CD, En: Affinity. See more of her beautiful paingings and calligraphy at www.greenjadeorientalart.com.

Someone asked us recently how to pronounce "EN."
It is like ZEN without the Z.
Or END without the D!

The name is based on the character 縁 that means affinity, unity, or destiny. To us, it represents our connection to Japan, Japanese music, and each other.

EN greatly enjoyed playing at the grand opening of Floating Leaves Tea House. The hardwood floors, delicious tea and warm reception make it a wonderful place to play our music. We hope you can come and experience this special space sometime soon - check our calendar for upcoming dates.

We had a great time at our second performance at Ravenna Third Place Books in July! The staff is great there, and we met some great people. Thanks for your support!

We have just launched our website - and we are looking forward to making new friends and sharing our music with new listeners.

Please sign our guestbook and let us know what you think -- comments, ideas, and suggestions are welcome!

EN-JOY!
