Paititi - Pike

Japanese Alternative / Jam Band / Lounge

A twin-ukulele-featured band led by actress Yoriko Doguchi, who is well known for her works with film directors like Kiyoshi Kurosawa and Juzo Itami.

While they are influenced by early jazz giants like Django Rheinhardt and jug bands like the Even Dozen Jug Bands, their music is a highly-sophisticated kind of mixture of those with Okinawan traditional folk songs, psychedelic droned soundscapes and blues. Very freewheeling and playful.
