My friends recorded Hirasakana in various outdoor locations in Kyoto last year. Here he is accompanied by Tatsuya Okabayashi on Mongolian horse head cello.
Hirasakana Oyogu is a Japanese street musician who makes tribal and childlike folk music. He travels Japan playing songs on his djembe, ukelele and flute which combine African hand drumming with traditional Japanese folk and western pop. He writes his songs as he travels the Japanese countryside and each song is an expression of the environment and season in which it was written.
