Jack Straw artist Mako celebrates the release of Portal, her new CD of traditional Okinawan music produced through the Jack Straw Artist Support Program, with a live performance from the studios at Jack Straw Cultural Center.

"My aim for the project was to compile some of the music I grew up hearing and hoping to be able to share it with others," says Mako. "It was like creating a family portrait . . . I'm not a photographer or writer so my medium is to play sanshin."		 Mako plays sanshin and sings at Jack Straw
