北島三郎 - 北島三郎と流し唄

Review by Farid Lim

北島三郎と流し唄 is a beautiful album that showcases the talents of the legendary Japanese singer, 北島三郎. The album features a collection of traditional Japanese folk songs, known as minyo, which are performed with grace and elegance.

The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "Sakura Sakura," a traditional song that celebrates the beauty of cherry blossoms in Japan. 北島三郎's voice is rich and powerful, and he brings a sense of depth and emotion to the song.

"Tsugaru Kaikyo Fuyugeshiki" is another standout track on the album. This song tells the story of a winter journey across the Tsugaru Strait, and 北島三郎's performance is both captivating and moving.

Throughout the album, 北島三郎 is accompanied by a group of talented musicians who use traditional Japanese instruments such as the shamisen and koto to create a rich and authentic sound.
