Japanese Min’yo (audio only)

A (not quite) traditional composition in the Japanese “folk song“ style of MIn’yo. The beginning and end are “normal“ slow min’yo; the middle section is mostly an improvised shakuhachi (flute) solo over taiko drums. I recorded this from the radio in Japan in 1988. The artists are unknown. If anybody knows who they are, please let me know; and if this is a copyright violation, let me know that too and I’ll remove it.
