Fed by diverse influences, the twin voices of Bakirinosu have their roots in popular Japanese music and travel, a cappella, along melodic lines that evoke both European folklore and the sound of unknown threnody, from further away. An eclecticism that is full of sap, autodidact and non-complex, thus proving that originality does not have to be technical.
Part of Osaka’s art scene, Ras and Gaki collaborated on rock projects before testing out a more daring formula based on song. Far from the media circus of Tokyo, Bakirinosu is a young group, whose candour is captivating and whose voices are beautifully simple, spontaneous and tranquil, oscillating between ethnic breathlessness and poetic nursery rhymes.

At first listen Bakirinosu's aca pella harmonies might easily give away the influence of Bulgarian folk songs or Japanese min'yo, but the young duo's approach to songwriting is truly unique. Actually rather than calling them "written pieces", it would be more appropriate to say these songs seem to unravel themselves, slipping through the mind like little animals roaming a strange land. Mingling their voices with whispers, laughters and cries, Ras and Gaki's bewitching presence blows language away and turns it into a swarm of butterflies. When the flutter of the wings stops, one realizes he was just gone someplace quiet and misty, far, far away. |
