Japanese Folk Songs Ii | Various Artists

This CD includes Japanese folk songs, arranged by Joji Hirota (vocals, shakuhachi, Japanese percussion and drums), with the London Metropolitan Orchestra and two children's choirs from schools destroyed in the 2011 tsunami. Hauntingly beautiful melodies conjure images of Japanese scenery, river boats, children's ball games...
