    Official reissue of legendary album 'KI-Motion' by Japanese percussionist Midori Takada’s Mkwaju Ensemble. A highly creative and transcendental fusion of marimba, vibraphone, bamboo percussion and synthesizers, 'KI-Motion' was recorded in 1981 and captures the birth of Midori Takada’s exploration of minimalism, African rhythmic tradition, and ambient music.

    Essential!!!
