A trained actor and visual artist, Kuroki\u2019s place at the front of the stage for TEKE::TEKE masterfully amplifies their already dramatic arrangements.\u00a0<br>\u00a0<br>After initially forming as a tribute band for Japanese guitar legend\u00a0Takeshi Terauchi, TEKE::TEKE learned that they had to tear up their surf-tinged covers and build something new. Since then, the Montreal-based seven-piece have expanded their already wide scope into a dazzling journey through classic Japanese balladry and Brazillian psychedelia alike.
