Oki's best album so far, has more musicians, a bigger and a more contemporary sound, without losing any connection to it's Ainu roots. Female singer, Repko in particular impresses as on the opening, infectious track. Reggae, African and other world influences add variety, but it's still the Ainu voices and instruments that dominate. An accessible, enjoyable album that establishes Oki as one of the most important musicians to emerge from Japan in recent years.
In 1992 Oki received his first Tonkori—a traditional stringed instrument developed by the native Ainu people of Sakhalin. Although the instrument was regularly displayed behind glass in museums, there were virtually no traditional players. Oki devoted himself to studying and the tonkori and soon began making his own. In 1996 he released his first album ‘Kamuy kor nupurpe.’ Shortly after he established Chikar Studio to in order to encourage other Ainu artists and promote the music of Ainu artists to the world. Chikar studio has presently released a total of 20 albums, including titles by the traditional singer Umeko Ando and the all-female ensemble Marewrew, who sing traditional dance songs called “Upopo” with a modern sensibility. Oki Dub Ainu Band features the tonkori in a band setting with drums, bass, keyboard and dub wise. They perform often at Festivals in Japan and overseas.
