REVIEW

May17, 2020 Studio recordings of Ifukube's Ainu-influenced compositions. These magical pieces based on traditional songs from native tribes of northern Japan. The sound and style of this music are somewhere between western contemporary and eastern traditional music, creating a unique fusion of musical and aesthetic elements. Sorry, no review at this time
