Popis - LONGING FOR THE SHADOW: RYUKOKA RECORDIN [VINYL]:
'RYUKOKA RECORDINGS 1921-39' - Emerging during the early stages of the recording industry in Japan, the ryukoka style adopted western classical, blues and jazz elements into traditional and classical Japanese music. This collection of 1920s and 30s ryukoka recordings captures the hauntingly unique sound of a cultural merging that was starting to reflect itself through popular songs, ahead of the widespread influence of western pop music during post-war US occupation.
