On this episode of Rhythm & Roots join me as I enter into the world of traditional Japanese music with Ensemble East. Combining two kotos, a shakuhachi, and voice the group draws from a repertoire that features classic and contemporary compositions. Master musicians, Ensemble East delivers with precision & passion, incorporating zen principles into their performance. Their sounds provoke thought and meditation and offer an insight into the music and traditions of Japan.
