NOBORIKAWA SEIJIN's "SPIRITUAL UNITY," a masterpiece of Japanese music. This album features representative tracks by Noborikawa Seijin, who reigns at the highest level of Okinawan folk music and has influenced many musicians. Nakagawa Kei of SOUL FLOWER UNION participates in production and duet. For those new to folk music, and even for fans of Okinawan folk music or "Makoto-gwa" (a nickname for Noborikawa Seijin), the inclusion of SOUL FLOWER UNION on some tracks might initially be puzzling. I was one of them. "Why would they layer bass and electric guitar over Makoto-gwa's sanshin...?" I thought. However, the more I listen, the more I realize this collaboration isn't bad at all. In fact, it turns out to be a comfortable soundscape. It eventually becomes addictive. If you listen to this not as a solo album by Makoto-gwa, but as a collaborative album with SOUL FLOWER and Noborikawa's disciples, you will find the exquisite interplay to be pleasant. There is no doubt that this is a masterpiece of his albums. Thank you for looking. As this is a used item, there may be minor scratches and dirt. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such details.
