Bob Brozman to nie tylko multiinstrumentalista, ale także historyk, badacz kultur, nauczyciel, a nawet handlowiec. Ukulele, dobro, gitara hawajska nie mają przed nim tajemnic, Takashi Hirayasu - to Japończyk, wokalista z Okinawy
Ich wspólna płyta, na której wystąpili jeszcze perkusista z Santa Cruz Rick Walker, akordeonista z zespołu Los Lobos - David Hidalgo i basista z San Francisco - Piper Heisig.
Powstała płyta, będąca świadectwem wielkiej erudycji i szczerej miłości do muzyki. Tradycyjna muzyka z Okinawy w mądry sposób wzbogacona została o elementy muzyki afrykańskiej.
"This is just one of the most balanced and beautiful albums ever made, one that will be difficult to get out of your head or out of your heart."
- THE AMERICAN REPORTER
"light-hearted, whimsical, and inventive."
"The lyrics?are beautiful poetry in themselves."
"This is one of the most original guitar albums you'll hear all year."
- AQUARIUS
"Nankuru Naisa is a worthy successor to Jin Jin and a superb record in its own right."
- GREEN MAN REVIEWEditor's info:
Bob Brozman, the king of the Hawaiian slide guitar and Takashi Hirayasu, Okinawan vocalist and sanshin maestro, reunite on their follow-up album Nankuru Naisa on Riverboat Records, after their genre-defying collaboration, Jin Jin/ Firefly. Now meeting again as old friends the pair continue their musical journey across cultures to discover new directions and a captivating album. Brozman and Hirayasu also team up with an array of guest musicians such as Los Lobos's David Hidalogo to break boundaries. The musical partnership of Brozman and Hirayasu shows no creative limitations on Nankuru Naisa.
'Brozman plays with great feeling and his slide guitar proves to be the perfect foil for the more plaintive Japanese instruments and his colleague's striking vocals.' The Times 'delicate traditional sounds to deranged slices of funk'
