はまさき – 朝崎郁恵* × ヨシダダイキチ* – Audio CD – Pre Owned CDs (Arrives in 14days)

On ‘はまさき,’ Amami Islands folk vocalist Ikue Asazaki joins forces with sitarist and producer Daikichi Yoshida, crafting an album that feels both rooted in ancient tradition and vibrantly contemporary. Asazaki’s unmistakable voice—weathered yet luminous—delivers songs carrying the soul of her island heritage, while Yoshida’s subtle yet daring arrangements weave in sitar and electronics, gently bending the boundaries of folk music. The result is a listening experience where meditative melodies and field recordings conjure up both the salt-laced air of the Amami coast and an intimate, timeless present. This is not simply a preservation of regional Japanese song, but a living, breathing conversation between past and present, inviting listeners to experience the evolving possibilities of folk expression. Ideal for collectors who appreciate when tradition becomes a springboard for new artistry, ‘はまさき’ stands out as a document of cultural resilience and artistic partnership. For those who crave music that is both deeply grounded and fearlessly explorative, this album is a rewarding and essential addition to the shelf.
