The NY Licorice Ensemble, always seeking to present new cultural and musical activities in Japan and the U.S. focused now on ”warabe-uta,”–Japanese traditional children’s songs, for the third CD.

We looked back on songs we heard from childhood many of which are cultural treasures and decided to introduce them to the world in a context of newly composed music, “warabe-uta remix.”
