Shakuhachi Solos
"In this album Rodrigo performs Honkyoku music from the ancient shakuhachi repertoire such as Akita Sugagaki, Sanya, as well as a contemporary shakuhachi composition by Kohachiro Miyata for solo shakuhachi. The emphasis on older tunes and songs like Moon Over the Ruined Castle, Sakura, and Grass-Cutting Song (from Iwao Yoneya’s Min’yō school) make this album a nostalgic trip to old Japan.
