Profile

[Hamonica Creams]
Celtic blues band, a new folk music from Japan. The style in which the four players, a harmonica, a fiddle, a guitar, and an Irish percussion instrument, Baulong, talk freely through the instruments creates a delicate and intense spiral groove from right to left. Their first album released in 2011 became the talk of the town in Japanese and French radio and newspapers, and they became the first non-Japanese to win a competition at Festival de Ortigueira, the world's largest international Celtic music festival (July 2012, Spain). They released their 2nd album in December 2012.
