Product Description
Brazilian Cellist Jacques Morelenbaum and vocalist Paula Morelenbaum have been long time collaborators of Ryuichi Sakamoto.

This is a tribute album of Sakamoto tracks from throughout his career, together with a new song. 'Fragmentos', 'Happy End' features Haruomo Hosono on bass, released as the B-side of Ryuichi Sakamoto's second solo single, "Front Line," in 1981, and was also included on YMO's album "BGM".
