In the Country
Nick Luscombe explores the music and sounds of Japan, including tracks from Oki Dub Ainu Band, Ikue Mori and Sugai Ken.
Tokyo-based DJ, producer and broadcast Nick Luscombe explores the music and sound of Japan past and present in a virtual journey from the country鈥檚 remote outposts to its vast metropolis. In this second of three programmes, we hear music from or inspired by the countryside in Japan, from ceremonial music from the mountains of Nagano prefecture to the more contemporary sounds of Oki Dub Ainu Band whose sound incorporates the traditional instruments of Hokkaido鈥檚 Ainu culture.
