Enjoy this musical journey through Japan were you will listen to instruments like the shakuhachi (bamboo flute), koto, shamisen or biwa in harmony with some of the funkiest rhythms. Everything is recorded from vinyl records that have been carefully selected.
This is my first mixtape in a couple of years. It's only the first out of three asian themed mixtapes; the second one will be focused on Japanese jazz-funk and the third is for all the non-Japanese grooves (either heavily Japanese influenced or grooves from other parts of Asia)
