Compostela - Wadachi CD
SKU
TZ7211
''One of the most original groups in modern Japan, Compostela blends folk musics of Eastern Europe with the tradition of Japanese chindon (street musicians who play at grand openings of supermarkets and pachinko parlors, dressed as geishas and samurai). This special compilation, which includes original compositions as well as tunes by Sidney Bechet, Victor Jara and Gilrod & Sandler, was assembled by Compostela's survivingmembers to pay tribute to one of Japan's musical luminaries.'' Very unusual & nice. [Tzadik]
