“Into the Enigmatic World of Myanmar Music” East Japan Tour 2024

The only Myanmar music talk event in Japan by Myanmar music researcher Murakami Kyoki will tour western Japan.

Myanmar music is the most distant from Western music. Myanmar music is not well known in Japan, but its uniquely evolved style is both strange and beautiful. Until now, when Myanmar music has been introduced in Japan, it has mostly been in the context of world music, but that is too much of a shame. Murakami, who has been conducting field research since 2016, will introduce its history and appeal by playing records, cassettes, CDs, and videos.

In particular, there will be a first report on the results of the field research conducted in December 2023 (noise musicians and record digging in Yangon) and a live corner where Murakami will play classical music on the Myanmar mandolin. Please enjoy the impact of Myanmar, an unknown super music country.
