Richard O’Barry Instagram – Yesterday in Tokyo, Japan. September 3, 2023. Dolphin Project Concert Committee Office: Mostly an archives now. Plenty of memories here of those early days when we were young and strong and running wild. Left to right: Masatoshi Iwanagi, Ric O’Barry, Mr. Suzuki and Hiroshi Asada. These three Japanese revolutionaries made history when they connected up with the “Rolling Coconut Review.” We went from the Coconut Grove Playhouse to the Haromi Dome in Tokyo in 1977 to preform with the leading Japanese artists. Before this date in time, Japanese musicians only opened for Westerners. A kind of musical segregation. Working together we changed that. Finally, Japanese and Westerners played together on the same stage for the first time. Our event was called: “Japan Celebrates the Whale and Dolphin.” It was produced by Dolphin Project USA and Dolphin Project Japan.
