Maïa Barouh - Kodama

First published in fRoots double issue 379-380, January-February 2015


Maïa Barouh
Kodama
Editions Saravah (52 mins)

Often abstract electronica, with a strong Okinawan influence in the vocals from this French-Japanese artist. Some great jazz flute and elements from trip-hop, dub and more mainstream electronic genres. Sometimes a little too pretentiously far-out but an overall good album.
