ATODASHI by Ten Ten
This is ten ten's first album of Japanese folk songs (Min'yo) arranged with a new twist featuring several guest artists. The recording started 2014 but was put on the backburner as other projects came up. The title of this album is therefore called, 'ATODASHI' which means 'waiting for someone to make the next move'.
This album marks a departure from ten ten's previous two releases as these are my favourite folk songs with guest artists adding their own ideas to the arrangements.
