 \nOKI - Born on the Japanese island of Hokkaido in 1957\, OKI is a contemp
 orary of the likes of Haroumi Hosono and Midori Takada\, an explorative fo
 lk musician who blends indigenous Ainu folk music with international influ
 ences and who is without question the most influential living Ainu musicia
 n.\n\nOne of Japan’s most respected heritage artists he is the world’s
  leading player of the tonkori\, a fivestringed Ainu harp\, which is the p
 ulse of his music and the force that unifies the disparate sounds his musi
 c encompasses whether that’s reggae\, dub\, throat singing\, African gro
 oves or music from Central Asia.\n\nOn stage OKI is joined by his wife Rum
 iko Kano (vocals\, tonkori)\, son Manaw Kano (drums\, tonkori) + long-time
  collaborator Takashi Nakajo (bass) for a journey into Ainu music as ancie
 nt vocal chants move into intense mouth-harp acapellas and meditative solo
  tonkori pieces morph into psychedelic dub-heavy workouts.\n\nTheir 2022 t
 our saw them perform at LeGuessWho?\, Bongo Joe (Geneva) and a UK tour wit
 h three sold out shows at London’s Café Oto\, Glasgow’s Glad Café an
 d Oxford’s Pitt Rivers Museum\, as well as live sessions for Gilles Pete
 rson’s WWFM and two at Radio 3 for Late Junction and Music Planet\n\n---
 ------------------------------\n\n“The tonkori is (OKI’s) anchor and h
 e comes at it with both a grounding in its history but also a rootless neo
 phyte innocence”.\n\n- The Wire\n\n“With OKI\, we see some of the last
  players of the indigenous Japanese Ainu five-stringed harp the tonkori\, 
 where the family act together to celebrate.\n\ntheir common cultural ident
 ity”\n\n- Clash Magazine
