Japanese band plays traditional folk song as Ghanaian highlife music

In Japanese, "minyo" refers to Japanese folk songs. The band Minyo Crusaders takes traditional Japanese songs and rearranges them using Caribbean, African and Latin styles. We take a listen to their latest, a traditional poignant tune titled "Shigesa Bushi" which was popularized by sailors during the Edo period (1600-1800s), which the band has effectively turned into a bouncy Ghanaian-style highlife melody.
