山嵐 - 山嵐

Review by Martin & Nancy D.

山嵐's self-titled album, 山嵐, is a mesmerizing blend of traditional Japanese music and contemporary sounds. The album features a range of instruments, including taiko drums, shamisen, and shakuhachi, all of which are skillfully played by the members of the group.

The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful track "Kaze no Uta," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The song features a haunting melody played on the shakuhachi, accompanied by the rhythmic beats of the taiko drums. The album continues with tracks like "Mugen no Kaze," which features a driving rhythm and a powerful performance on the shamisen, and "Hana no Mai," which is a more subdued, contemplative piece.

One of the highlights of the album is the track "Yama," which features a stunning vocal performance by the group's lead singer. The song has a haunting quality to it, and the lyrics, which are in Japanese, add to the overall atmosphere of the song.

Summary by Martin & Nancy D.

山嵐's self-titled album is a must-listen for anyone interested in traditional Japanese music or world music in general. The group's skillful playing and powerful performances make this album a standout in the genre.
