Episode 50: Folk Music of Japan
/

 

We are heading to the Far East today to visit the country of Japan, a beautiful island country of Asia. The music we’ll be listening to in this episode is going to be different for your ears if you are used to listening to Western music, but it is filled with the beauty and history of the Japanese people and reflects their religious practices and theatrical forms.

We’re going to learn all sorts of brand new things as we listen to the folk music of Japan!
