Title: Japanese Roots
Product review: This is an album of lively tunes that evoke many classical and comtemporary images of Japan. I first saw this impressive band live at a WOMAD concert in Yokohama, and have been hooked ever since. If you have spent some time in Japan you would quickly recognize the many traditional influences--recorders, flutes, and sounds that evoke memories of small village O-bon festivals. But this is contemporary fare: a unique blend of the old and new. Try this one out and give it a few listens. Yes, it's all in Japanese. No, it's not important that you know what is being said; the music itself does the translation just fine.
