Nenbutsu/Wasan 2026 (feat. haruyo kimura)

Tariki Echo's "Nenbutsu / Wasan 2026," featuring erhu player Haruyo Kimura, brings Japanese Buddhist music into a bold contemporary setting. The invocation "Namu Amida Butsu" rides a buoyant, funk-driven pop groove, while Kimura's expressive erhu adds warmth, color, and emotional depth. Rooted in the traditions of nenbutsu chanting and wasan hymns, the track transforms centuries-old devotional sounds into something vivid, danceable, and unmistakably modern. Spiritual yet playful, meditative yet irresistibly catchy, it creates an unexpected meeting point between Buddhist chant, East Asian strings, and modern pop.
