Minyo Crusaders return with their highly anticipated sophomore album 'Tour of Japan'. Since the release of their debut in 2019, the band have toured Europe four times playing major European festivals such as Roskilde, Best Kept Secret, Green Man Festival, WOMAD, Fusion, Les Escales, Lowlands and many, many more, succesfully road-testing the songs from this album. On this new album which has been mixed by Mario from Frente Cumbiero, Minyo have finessed their winning formula of adapting ancient Japanese folk songs to global rhythms with influences this time from Ethiopia, boogaloo, salsa, West Africa and jazz. Says band-leader Katsumi: 'The concept of this album is the sea with various expressions'.Tracklisting:A1. Sado Okesa (6:35)A2. Hiroshima Kiyari Ondo (5:25)A3. Soran Bushi (5:11)A4.
