The Tokyo-based band Minyo Crusaders fight to keep the «lost» folk music tradition, minyo, alive.
Is Minyo dead? This is the central question in this lovely music documentary. Many see the traditional Japanese folk music as a lost art, but the band Minyo Crusaders does everything they can to keep it alive and innovate it. The band has combined minyo with Latin American and African musical traditions, creating a unique sound. Minyo Crusaders have had a great career with concerts across the globe. This documentary follows them up close and depicts their personal fight to bring minyo to a new audience.
