On his new album SONGS FROM OKINAWA Sven Kacirek searches for
traces of a unique, traditional music of the famous Pacific
islands south of Japan. He has recorded various musicians,
amateurs as well as local celebrities and subsequently added
his trademark instruments marimba, xylophone and piano. The
result is an incomparable album of timeless beauty and
elegance.

The South Japanese archipelago of Okinawa has seen quite a
turbulent past, especially the conflicts between Japan and
America, as outlined in the liner notes by Mina Mermoud. The
complex history has resulted in an exceptionally rich music
tradition through the centuries. With the influence of American
culture during the US army occupation of the islands, the
Okinawan started mixing traditional songs with Western music
styles. In Japan Okinawan music is now considered as a genre of
its own. "I'm fascinated by the sublime simplicity and
precision of Okinawan Music, from the orchestration to the
phrasing of the singing voice", says Sven Kacirek. He leaves
many of the vocal and instrument recordings untouched, adds a
marimba or his percussions here and there, without playing
himself to the foreground.
