Red Flower Lake

In 2001, they moved in together, creating music as an essential part of their lives. Originally releasing music as Abel Okugawa, they later formalized their duo as Red Flower Lake in 2019.

This name, bestowed upon Rahimah in a traditional ceremony, symbolizes a deep connection to her calling. The duo brings renewed energy and purpose to their musical journey, embracing inspiration and curiosity in their lifelong union.

Rahimah and Abel’s romance has modern fairytale vibes. Rahimah and Abel's love story started in the late 1980s, and after years of crossing paths, they officially began dating in high school.

Their shared passion for music led to a lifelong collaboration, with Abel becoming a songwriter and studio engineer, while Rahimah focused on poetry and singing.
