There were no back-flipping dancers or record-scratching turntablists this edition of the annual Kollaboration talent show; KA4\u2019s performers roused the audience with their vocal talents alone and minimal accompaniment. <strong>From the sultry jazz sounds of Lily Bee\u2019s ukulele-backed croon and Esna Yoon\u2019s soulful charge to the earthy hip-hop of Flowethics<\/strong>, the night\u2019s program was the perfect way to spend a cool California evening beneath the trees at the Ford Amphitheatre in Los Angeles. <strong>Audience members swayed to the music of talented young performers Sorah Yang and Brian Fang, Johnny Le and Iris Leonardo, Justis Kao, and trios Misscarolinexoxo, and Hippie Hippie Hoorah<\/strong>. Quirky musical duo Alex and Jackie led the crowd with a fun tune about ducks, while guitar-playing songstress Peony gave a knockout performance with her ethereal folksy-blues sound. The winner of the night\u2019s $1,000 prize was perennial favorite Dawen, the uber-talented young soul\/R&#038;B singer, who led a rousing and humorous piano-backed rendition of a new song about shoes and booty (in that order). Closing off the night was a comedic musical guest appearance by <strong>Kollaboration founder Paul \u201cPK\u201d Kim<\/strong>, as well as guest <strong>judge\/headliner Marie Digby<\/strong>, whose own charming guitar-vocal talents shot her from Youtube talent to star of her own www.ABCmusiclounge.com series. <\/p>\n<p>Marie Digby\u2019s peformance<br \/>\n<object width=\"480\" height=\"385\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/9whxI9xMxLM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/9whxI9xMxLM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p>Dawen \u2013 winning performance of Kollaboration Acoustic<br \/>\n<object width=\"480\" height=\"385\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/i41qpjV97Ao?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/i41qpjV97Ao?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p>\u2013Emily C.
