 Kris Kono
“I love to play soulful, gospel, Latin rhythms and prefer to choose songs with a positive message.”
“I am drawn to the sounds of flutes, piano, guitar and live percussion.”
Don’t be surprised if you hear some vocal trance, classic disco, or soul says Kono: “I play different styles of music for the various dance floors I have the honor of entertaining.” “I hear music in the streets” drew applause during Kris’ NYC gay pride parade gig on the Callen-Lorde Community Center Float. Emotions were evoked during Diana Ross' “Someday we’ll be together” after the moment of silence. Even Hillary Clinton was having fun as she walked by clapping along to the beat to Celia Cruz's 'Quimbara.' "What an honor it was to see Senator Clinton walking with us in the march. It was such a thrill for me to watch her dance as she walked along side our float!" For the past 20 years Kris has played at various fundraisers, outdoor events and clubs locally as well as in Montreal, New York city, South Beach, Rehobeth Beach, and Atlanta.
“Music can be an incredibly powerful, healing medium” says Kono. Throughout time, ceremonial dances have been known to be a form of prayer. I feel lucky to be able to play for people who gather together to celebrate life’s offerings on the dance floor.”
