about

"Kawaigaranse" is a  Japanese Goze's (blind female minstrels) song sung in front of the doors before proper concerts. In this upbeat, dansable yet accoustic version of Suzumeno Tears, the swaying overtone is absolutely enchanting as the voices come and go from harmony to unison. And also the strumming guitar phrase that mimics shamisen somehow sounds like African instrument, kora. 

「かわいがらんせ」は高田瞽女の門付け唄。ユニゾンとハモりを行き来する倍音のうねりが心地よい。offnoteレーベル「瞽女うた2 高田瞽女篇」の音源で聞き覚えたという三味線のフレーズをもとにしたガットギターはどこかアフリカの弦楽器、コラのようにも聴こえる。ビートを強調したアコースティック・ダンス・チューンに仕上がっている。
