Скачать или смотреть Donto - Yoi Yoi

Live at Nagata Jinja, Kobe, January 21st 1996. One year after the Kobe earthquake, the ever resourceful Soul Flower Mononoke Summit, who had played numerous times in Kobe mostly around the area of Nagata to cheer up the victims, decided to organise a festival. They called it Tsuzura-ori no Utage and invited a lot of like minded musicians and friends to participate, including the singer Donto. This footage, is all the more poignant, because in January 2000, Kyoto born Donto died aged 37 of a brain haemorrhage while on holiday in Hawaii.
Donto first came to prominence as a guitarist and singer with the group Rosa Luxembourg and later Bo Gumbos, who played Bo Diddley inspired New Orleans style music. He was part of the unit 'Uminosachi' which recorded a wacky blend of Indian, Indonesian and Japanese music on an album called ' Indonesian Sea Food' which includes this track. He later relocated to Okinawa, where he took up the sanshin, and recorded three solo albums. Whatever he turned his hand to, Donto did so with his own unique style, intelligence and humour. This footage features his wife Sachiho on bass, of the group Amana and before that, Zelda. These days their son Rakita is keeping music in the family alive as a solo musician.
