Muso Ko [Limited Pressing]

[Machine Translation] In commemoration of the release of his latest album "Hometown" (March 23, 2014). In celebration of the release of his latest album "Hometown" (March 23, 2014), we are reissuing Aviv Kowate's old albums at a low price for a limited time (until June 30, 2014)! Aviv's shocking debut album was released in Europe in 1995 and in Japan in 1996. With his short dreadlocks and semi-acoustic guitar, he sang and danced in a way that was more cutting edge than any other African musician at the time. The lyrics were rich in message, and the sound was percussive and melodic. The album is overflowing with strong individuality and talent, breaking the image of Afro-pop music up to that time. This is an album that needs to be re-listened to now more than ever. Includes Japanese commentary and bilingual lyrics.

Note: This is an import edition (manufactured outside of Japan).

最新作『故郷』(2014年3月23日)発売記念。アビブ・コワテの旧譜を期間限定(2014年6月30日まで)で廉価盤再発! 95年にヨーロッパで発売、日本では96年に発売された、アビブ衝撃のデビュー作。短いドレッドヘアにセミ・アクースティック・ギターを抱えて歌い、踊る様は、当時他のどんなアフリカのミュージシャンよりも最先端を走っていた。メッセージ性に富む歌詞、パーカッシヴでメロディアスなサウンド。それまでのアフロ・ポップのイメージを打ち破る、強烈な個性と才能が横溢。今こそ聞き直したいアルバム。日本語解説&歌詞対訳付き。
