Artist:
Kiyoshi Yoshida
Featuring Bonten

The newly released “Asian Drums II” is the second of the series that was released in the wake of its success. When we say “wadaiko,” we the Japanese, usually imagine a lively and energetic scene, high in spirits and with gallantry, but it feels to me like Yoshida has given the drums an entirely different direction in the case of these two albums. He does not make use of the Japanese sense of time-space or “ma,” stretching time or making it short, but instead keeps the basic beat as the basis of the music. It’s a good way to blend the sounds of the synthesizer and the wadaiko. The wadaiko, which is normally put in the forefront is kept in the back and backs up the entire piece. By keeping the wadaiko which can create a world by just a single sound under lids patiently for just a little while, the ever transforming synthesizer which has no characteristic of its own comes to the surface. The role of the wadaiko here is to set a stable mono-tone feel, rather than to rigorously create a beat. The sounds that are most often heard are shamisen like sounds playing in unison. This is the cheerful and bright part of the piece, these speedy phrases have the role of pulling the music forward more and more. The wadaiko performers in the album belong to the “Bonten” and is led by Masataka Kobayashi.
