Reggae meets tabla, with tabla-bongo musician Asa-chang and keyboardist Emerson Kitamura who have just released a first album together, appropriately titled "Debut". Included are several covers (see tracklist) plus an original that features singer Chieko Beauty. Tabla-bongo is an original instrument developed by Asa-chang, which looks like bongo but sounds like tabla.
A free in-store mini-live will be held on August 17 from 19:00 at Tower Records Shibuya (6F). Find details here.
