His real name is Masanori Takahashi (Kitarō is a stage name that means "happy"). He was born in Toyohashi, Aichi Prefecture, Japan and is a graduate of Toyohashi Commercial High School. After graduating, Kitaro moved to Tokyo to experience and become a part of the music scene, and it was there that he discovered the synthesizer. His first synthesizer was analog, and he recalls having “just loved the analog sound that it made compared to today's digital sound”.
His parents were first opposed to the idea of their son having a musical career. In an effort to maneuver him towards their vision, they made arrangements for him to take a job at a local company. In return, he left home without telling them. He supported himself by taking on several part time jobs such as cooking and civil service work, while composing songs at night.
In the early 1970s, he changed completely to keyboards. He joined the Japanese music group Far East Family Band which was formed in 1965, and toured with them around the world. While in Europe, he met the German electronica and former Tangerine Dream member Klaus Schulze. Schulze produced two albums for the band and gave Kitaro some tips for controlling synthesizers. In 1976, Kitaro left Far East Family Band and travelled through Asia (China, Laos, Thailand, India)
Universally acknowledged as the founding architect of new age music, Kitaro has achieved global acclaim over a more than three decade long career with a signature sound and a pioneering fusion of cultures, techniques and spheres of consciousness.
As a Grammy and Golden Globe Award-winning artist, this incredibly prolific composer and performer has continued his reign in the international spotlight and at the forefront of musical innovation ever since his critically acclaimed soundtrack to the Japanese NHK documentary, Silk Road.
Most fundamentally, at its heart, Kitaro's music is always about sending a profound message of peace that has inspired countless fans from around the globe. Kitaro's latest album release, "Sacred Journey Of Ku-Kai Volume 4" was nominated at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards, his 14th career nomination to date.

OMG OMG OMG
I AM SO ELATED RIGHT NOW
I’ve been hunting for this song for like 20 years. I heard it in my teens & fell in love with it and never forgot its name
I’ve called so many radio stations over the years asking if hey could find it for me and googled it too
Problem was I searched Dance of Sarah Savati
Finally THIS TIME google auto corrected my spelling and led my to this video.
This sounds EXACTLY the same as the original version I heard so long ago.
I was afraid I wouldn’t recognize it even if it was the song. But nope I recognized it within the first few notes.
Thank you, thank you for the post!!!

DIVINO ESCUCHARLO 🏆 2022❤️👈
LA VIDA, ES UN PLACER
LA VEJEZ, ES UN PRIVILEGIO
LA SABIDURIA, SE APRENDE
EL EXITO, SE LUCHA
LA HUMILDAD, SE NACE
EL AMOR, SE SIENTE
EL RESPECTO, SE GANA
EL ODIO, TE ENFERMA
EL DESEO, TE FORTALECE
EL CASTIGO, TE HUMILLA
LA ALEGRIA, TE REJUVENECE
LA FELICIDAD, TE AMAS
LAS BENDICIONES, TE PROTEGEN
LA GRATITUD, SON BENDICIONES

I remember this vid being played on MTV before they lost their minds. Been a huge fan of Kitaro ever since.
@Aeyo
That must be a long time back given that MTV has been mad for around 2 decades
