ABOUT //
MUSICIAN
Armando Yamahira, a composer living in Akita Japan. He started playing guitar at the age of 14 and Charango at the age of 20. Graduated from Nihon University College of Art, Department of Film. In 1989, he formed Belle Vientos, a group representing Akita in search of music emanating from nature and climate, and music that evokes images by studying images. As a leader, he has been in charge of multiple stringed instruments such as guitar, charango, ronroco, and bozouki, as well as vocal, lyrics and composition.
ALBUMS //
Folklore, in a narrow sense, refers to the ethnic music of the Andes region, but its original meaning is the totality of literature, material culture, and customs handed down by oral or imitation and the disciplines that study them (folklore) as called. Expressing Akita's nature, tradition and culture as "sound" has been around for more than thirty years. We will continue to vigorously work toward this culmination. Thank you for your support.
