Why see Ichiko Aoba?
Japanese Folk-Singer Live!
Welcome to the wonderful, dream world of Japanese folk-singer Ichiko Aoba! The 35 year old musician is best known for her lulling, cinematic sound, reminiscent of the Studio Ghibli oeuvre. Aoba's catalogue is deeply transportive and offers her listeners an opportunity for both escapism and reflection.
Aoba's discography seems to exist in this liminal space, the music's instrumentation glitters and floats around the artists softly sung vocals. With this description, it becomes no surprise she featured on 2020's "Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening" soundtrack, Aoba's music the perfect backing-track for any fantasy world. A night with Ichiko Aoba on her upcoming tour is sure to be a sublime experience!
