Japanese Folk/ Groove
Minyo Crusaders rework Japanese folk songs (min’yō) with a mix of Latin, African, Caribbean and Asian rhythms. Through their inventive arrangements, the ten-piece band breathes new life into these traditional working-class stories, creating loose connections between cumbia, Ethiopian jazz, Thai pop, afro funk and reggae. With the mission of bringing this ancient art, now considered intellectual, closer to its initial meaning, namely “the songs of the people”, they will take you on a world tour with catchy grooves and dancing melodies in a joyfully contagious energy. !
