Hobbies: about the musician that drives me crazy:Kazufumi Miyazawa has been called the Japanese David Byrne, Paul Simon and Peter Gabriel rolled into one.From Kofu, about seventy miles west of Tokyo, Miyazawa formed the Boom at the end of the 80s with school friends. Every Sunday, the group would head to so-called 'Din Alley', in fashionable Harajuku. The Boom latched onto post-punk; the Police, Two-Tone, early U2. Most bands never made it out of the street, but the Boom progressed to live clubs in the city and a major record deal. They made a couple of albums of ska inspired rock albums, soon gaining a large cult following. Then in 1993 came the Okinawan influenced single Shima Uta, (island songs) which went on to sell over a million and a half copies, popularizing Japan's most exciting roots music and winning the Japanese equivalent of a Grammy that year. Over the following years, Miyazawa expanded his horizons, travelling to and absorbing music from Indonesia, Jamaica, Cuba and particularly Brazil. Aware not to turn the Boom into his solo project and to preserve the group's separate identity, Miyazawa decided to divide his creativity between the Boom and a solo career. In 1998 he released two solo albums, the first Sixteenth Moon was recorded in London with producer Hugh Padgham (Sting, Genesis) and also featured some of Sting's regular musicians Manu Katche on drums (also Peter Gabriel, Youssou N'Dour) and Dominic Miller (Sting) on guitar. The following Afrosick was recorded in Salvador and Rio de Janeiro, with some of the leading lights of Brazilian music including, Carlinhos Brown, Marcos Suzano and Lenine.taken from this Homepage:http://www.farsidemusic.com/FSCD1002Miyazawa.html
