南部酒屋唄プロジェクト Vol.1

南部酒屋唄を発酵させるとどんな音が?! What can be heard when the sake work songs are fermented?かつては酒蔵で酒造り工程中に鳴り響いていた酒屋唄だが、昭和30年代から機械化により徐々に唄われなくなってきた。このほぼ消滅しかかった唄を現在唄うことのできる最後の世代である南部杜氏の唄い手4名とシアトルのトップミュージシャン7名が今に甦らせた、古今東西を超えた渾身のコラボ作品!”Sakaya Uta” - traditional work songs of sake brew masters of Nanbu or Iwate (Northern Japan), handed down by oral tradition from one generation to the next but now on the verge of extinction due to the mechanization in breweries since 1950s. This is a recording of the voices of the last generation masters able to sing the songs, which was incorporated with original contemporary music by Sumiko Sato and a sextet from Seattle, USA. The ultimate collaboration of East and West, Old and New!
