This is the first chapter in a series of mixtapes in which we travel with the Japanese artists that starting from the 70’s roamed every exotic place under the sun while exploring the corresponding soundscapes, producing music that echoed the dreams and spells of the sea and faraway lands.
Music by: Haruomi Hosono, Tatsuro Yamashita, Masaaki Ohmura, and more.
"Próximo Oriente" is a show on Rádio Macau about what "Asia" or "oriental" convey in musical terms. It consists on weekly expeditions in search of the Orient, an image constructed and fantasised through sound. We will be wandering across different soundscapes and exoticism, under the spell of music from far away and mysterious places.
