lyaoi Rhythm

[Machine Translation] [Brigade - the oldest and forefront human hymn -] Brigade, which has been active since 2003, has held and performed at numerous independent projects and outdoor festivals, and has brought many stages and floors to a boil, imprinting its presence on many people. Iyaoi Rhythm" is the long-awaited first full album by Brigade, who have been active since 2003. The band started out as a baseless chill-out band with twin drums and ethnic instruments, but as they performed more and more shows, the number of members increased, and now the band consists of 2 drums, 2 djembe, conga, bongo, yidaki (didgeridoo), and other ethnic instruments, as well as alto saxophone, violin, guitar, gut guitar, and bass. This first full album is a live recording album with Yoichi Okabe (ROVO, VINCENT ATMICUS, etc.) and Yuji Katsui (ROVO, BONDAGE FRUIT, SHIBUSAKIDZ, etc.) as guests. The album includes a fiord session with only two violins, a thrilling dune session with tabla, and a spectacular last 20-minute africa~sadame.
