Katakuro Yukiji, shamisen, vocal & percussion

This is the first commercially available CD to be devoted to Japanese folk song. For many Japanese min'yo is an important link in an increasingly impersonal urbanized society, an intimate connection with community and place. This disc was recorded during their 1998 UK tour sponsored by the Japan Foundation. Complete with extensive notes and song translations.
