Going on stage with the moon
rising over the ocean at half past midnight, and with 500
people packed into the open air, seaside Paleohora Club, in Crete, this
is an energy laced performance
of Joji's contemporary Taiko compositions. This performance draws deep from the immense and fascinating resource of Japanese music. |
