Oki Kano has revived Japan’s indigenous Ainu music in a totally unexpected way. An artist who worked for many years in film special effects in New York, he returned to Japan to discover the Tonkori, a forgotten Ainu stringed instrument. His latest band uses tonkori, trance-like chanting and heavy dub rhythms.
