Aco’s Accordion: Folk to Fun!

Aco Tomine is bringing a new style of folk music to RESOBOX! Performing Japanese folk music with her accordion, she combines traditional with modern and gives folk music a bit of a pop sound. As well as traditional folk songs, she sings many of her own compositions which are traditionally enjoyed by modern spirits, so even non-Japanese people could enjoy Japanese folk songs as a world music. Her innovative music has reached audiences from Paris to Bangkok and now, New York!
