Yama Warashi

Yama Warashi is Bristol-based Japanese artist Yoshino Shigihara’s solo project. She was a keyboardist of Zun Zun Egui ( Bella Union) and also plays synth for Rozi Plain (Lost Map records). Her music has a dreamy evocative sound with a shadow of moon cake, inspired by Japanese folk dance music, free jazz and African music with a slice of electric psychedelia. Accompanied by saxophone, guitar and bass, Yoshino plays keyboard, percussions and sings songs in her mother tongue about mycelium and nuclear power .
