Description
Okinawa is just about Japan`s only surviving enclave where people still live and breath music. It`s from here, in attitude as much as music that AN-CHANG PROJECT mostly draw their influence. However, it`s the other disparate cultural fascinations and colours that make their music all the more alluring. The songs are mostly traditional Okinawan tunes, but are sung in harmony by Jun Yasuba and Yoshie Uno, whereas traditionally the vocals are sung in unison. Underpinning those vocals is some searing, psychedelic guitar parts courtesy of Natsuki Hattori.
