"Akita Daikokumai" is a famous Japanese traditional folk song to celebrate a new year, from Akita Prefecture, as the title means the God of Fortune's Dance. This energetic song was chosen for our new repertoire with our signature vocal harmonies and intense arpeggios of the guitar, the kaval's phrases adding some Balkan taste.
