Minyo Crusaders
Minyo Crusaders breathe new life into traditional Japanese folk songs (‘minyo’) by merging them with Latin, African and Caribbean rhythms and flourishes of exotica. By doing so, the 10-piece ensemble creates some of the most infectious, fresh sounding cross-continental roots music in years, proficient in both punchy melodies and inventive arrangements. Their debut album ‘Echoes of Japan’ has earned them plenty of praise and fans along the way.
