HIMEKAMI

"TSUGARU"

Pony Canyon / Lyricon / Sonyfolk

To create this album, Himekami inspired in the culture, the people and the landscape of Tosaminato, in the Japanese peninsula of Tsugaru. The result of their contact with all that is a music that has an important effect of sonic shock in the listener, since it unites disparate elements to build some usually unclassifiable pieces. It is not so much experimenting for the sake of experimenting, but rather Himekami build melodic themes of a great beauty, and some even turn out to be highly mysterious. The main path for the fusion is punctuated by means of the encounter of pop and Japanese folk music.
