#617 — Japanese connections, oddities and tradition

Listen back to recent programs

Program 617
Umeko Ando - Ihunke
Broadcast

A couple of new releases first, and then we're off to Japan to hear some oddities like prog rock, jazz fusion and reggae, but also folk & indigenous songs, and traditional instruments not always where you might expect to hear them.  It could get a bit weird.
