A new album just released by 2 Japanese musicians.
Tak is a former long-term Galway resident who is currently back in Japan playing and teaching the fiddle. He is accompanied by Yukio Kashiwagi on guitar, bouzouki, mandolin and a couple of tracks on the fiddle.
Good mixture of tunes, some quite rare. It's hard to believe that the music is actually played by 2 Japanese musicians if you hear the album!!
You can hear a couple of tracks from Tak's website:
