LIFT UP THE CLOTH ON YOUR HEAD (Live at Takasaki City Gallery Core Hall, 2023)

WANG LUO BIN, a folk music collector and composer, heard this beautiful melody from a merchant in Xinjiang Uyghur. The lyrics described the beauty of a bride at a wedding. He arranged the original idea into a familiar folk song, which became widely known throughout China and Asia. This time, Hajato Hieda has taken the folk song theme as a motif and added distinctive rhythms and counter melodies, transforming it into a magnificent piece.
