Fantastic old lady Ainu (native Japanese) singer, produced by and featuring on tonkori, the wonderful Oki. Slightly more contemporary than her previous album, with mostly percussion, and some mukkuri (jew's harp). Charming, hypnotic chanting vocals that recall the music of Mongolia or Tuva. One of the most successful 'roots' albums of recent years, and currently gaining a lot of media exposure. Wonderful.
