Description
The album "Japanese Folk Latin Feeling" by Miyako Otsuki has recently received a new release over 50 years since its original debut in 1973. This exceptional piece combines traditional Japanese folk songs with Latin music, showcasing the unique blend of young enka singer Miyako Otsuki's vocals and the vibrant rhythms of Latin jazz. This creation is believed to have been influenced by the "Young Folk Songs" movement, a popular NHK program that aimed to modernize traditional folk songs for the younger generation. Notable musicians, including Akira Miyazawa, Keisuke Eguchi, Nagamasa Harada, Sadanori Nakamure, Shigeaki Ikeno, and the Segami Yonosuke Group, joined forces to create this memorable fusion of two musical genres. The result is a powerful and heartfelt message conveyed through Otsuki's impressive singing, combining the essence of Japanese folk music with the lively beats of Latin music.
