Okinawa Americana
Live In Mildura, Australia
Check out this 1 minute "High Res" sample video
Okinawa Americana Live in Mildura captures a truly magical evening where the subtropical sounds of the Ryukyu Islands meet the heart of the American South and the ancient echoes of Australia. Recorded live at Powerhouse Place in Mildura, Australia this 11-song set is a masterful "champloo" (mix) of global traditions. The soulful resonance of Okinawan folk and the grit of Americana are elevated by special guests and indigenous friends Tony J Hunt and Aza Johnson, whose powerful didgeridoo performances add a profound layer to the performance. From the evocative wail of the sanshin to the rhythmic pulse of the Outback, this performance celebrates music as a universal language, bridging Okinawa, America, and the Murray River in one unforgettable night.
