 www.ticketsource.co.uk\n\nOKI - Born on the Japanese island of Hokkaido in
  1957\, OKI is a contemporary of the likes of Haroumi Hosono and Midori Ta
 kada\, an explorative folk musician who blends indigenous Ainu folk music 
 with international influences and who is without question the most influen
 tial living Ainu musician.\n\nOne of Japan’s most respected heritage art
 ists he is the world’s leading player of the tonkori\, a fivestringed Ai
 nu harp\, which is the pulse of his music and the force that unifies the d
 isparate sounds his music encompasses whether that’s reggae\, dub\, thro
 at singing\, African grooves or music from Central Asia.\n\nOn stage OKI i
 s joined by his wife Rumiko Kano (vocals\, tonkori)\, son Manaw Kano (drum
 s\, tonkori) + long-time collaborator Takashi Nakajo (bass) for a journey 
 into Ainu music as ancient vocal chants move into intense mouth-harp acape
 llas and meditative solo tonkori pieces morph into psychedelic dub-heavy w
 orkouts.\n\nTheir 2022 tour saw them perform at LeGuessWho?\, Bongo Joe (G
 eneva) and a UK tour with three sold out shows at London’s Café Oto\, G
 lasgow’s Glad Café and Oxford’s Pitt Rivers Museum\, as well as live 
 sessions for Gilles Peterson’s WWFM and two at Radio 3 for Late Junction
  and Music Planet\n\n---------------------------------\n\n“The tonkori i
 s (OKI’s) anchor and he comes at it with both a grounding in its history
  but also a rootless neophyte innocence”.\n\n- The Wire\n\n“With OKI\,
  we see some of the last players of the indigenous Japanese Ainu five-stri
 nged harp the tonkori\, where the family act together to celebrate.\n\nthe
 ir common cultural identity”\n\n- Clash Magazine
