Bring Minyo Back
M
inyo Crusaders have embarked on the mission-to revive the traditional Japanese folk Minyo. Their approach? They blend Minyo from all corners of Japan with Latin and Afro beats, creating a rich modern rhythm. This film provides an intimate glimpse into the world of Minyo Crusaders and their innovative process of 'bringing Minyo' to contemporary audiences.
The band toured in 2019 through different countries, including Colombia, where they experimented with updating Minyo with the local forms of cumbia.
