Product Description

The very wonderful female nagauta, traditional 'geisha' style singer Umekichi releases an interesting 6 track mini album. The main song, Kurashki Bushi was written in 1936 but disappeared until it was discovered on an old 78 eight years ago. Seeing as Umekichi is from the ancient town of Kurashiki, she was asked to sing this rare song, and she duly obliged, also singing other Kurashiki songs, Kurashiki Kouta and Kurashiki Ondo, plus Daikan Bayashi.
