Chin-Dong is the brash, colourful brass band music that used to be used for advertising on the streets of Japan before there was TV. In the 90s a few groups such as Compostella, Cicala Mvta or Soul Flower Mononoke Summit updated and incorporated the tradition into their music. Adachi Senden Sha are a young chin-dong group from Fukuoka, playing a pretty authentic style with great panache. The group have won the all Japan ching-dong award and definitely have the pedigree. This wonderful CD was originally released on a small indie company and now gets a major release. Brilliant.
