"Shima Guwa"

From Washinnayo

Known throughout Japan for his hit “Haisai Ojisan” and the million-selling “Hana”, Shoukichi Kina has never lost his status as a rebellious outsider; he uses his blend of rock and Okinawan folk as a vehicle for his musical and political activism. Here, he collaborates with Plantinga, a Dutch soundscape artist who couples electronic experimentation with a singular style of musical storytelling.
