Keisuke Kuwata 's 2016 special project "THE ROOTS ~ Great Kayokyoku ni Appreciation ~" will be released!
Keisuke Kuwata celebrated his 60th birthday in 2016. Based on the idea that "I want to create a work that I can do only this year", I collected a number of songs on the theme of "Tokyo" from my roots music, Japanese Kayo.
This work has been newly edited from the pattern that was aired as WOWOW's 25th anniversary program "Keisuke Kuwata 'Great Kayokyoku ni Appreciation ~Tokyo no Uta~'", and we have walked together in music life so far. Along with MUSICIANS Kuwata himself admires, in addition to 18 songs from the good old past, most of which are arranged faithfully to the original songs, "Tokyo" rearranged by a big band, newly written with respect to roots music. A total of 20 songs, including the unreleased new song "Mischievous".
