PoiL Ueda - PoiL Ueda LP

PoiL Ueda is the result of a collaboration between Junko Ueda, a vocalist and satsuma-biwa player from Japan, and PoiL, a French rock/contemporary music band. The creation is based on the 13th-century Japanese epic tale "Heike-Monogatari". The composition is based on traditional epic singing accompanied by the satsuma-biwa and Buddhist Shomyo chant. Fusing an ancient Japanese traditional music with a state-of-the-art European musical formation, this project offers the opportunity to discover a unique musical universe. An innovative album where PoiL's uninhibited experimental rock blends with the soft and undulating voice, compelling storytelling and remarkable charisma of Junko Ueda. PoiL Ueda crosses the boundaries of rock and world music. Through the magic and respect of the "Ma" the two universes merge in perfect osmosis.
