Detail:
Emerging during the early stages of the recording industry in Japan, the ryukoka style adopted western classical, blues & jazz elements into traditional and classical Japanese music
This collection of 1920s & 30s ryukoka recordings follows on from the Kouta Katsutaro tape we put out a couple of years back, and further captures the hauntingly unique sound of a cultural merging that was starting to reflect itself via popular song, ahead of the widespread influence of western pop music during post-war US occupation
