Does anyone have any recs for traditional Japanese or Chinese music? Vocals/instrumental both okay.

Yoshida Brothers are a good mix of traditional Japanese and some modern pop. There is a Chinese group that I think goes by 12 Girl Band in English that is also a mix. For Taiko, Kodo as well as Joji Hirota & the Taiko Drummers.

These are all instrumental, btw, I never got into the traditional vocal music. But the Japanese term for that genre is "enka" so if you search that you should find some options.

I don’t think Enka is what I’m looking for, when I search. Tends to be more modern from what I can tell.

Hmm. How traditional are we talking? Historical? Most groups I'm familiar with work with the traditional instruments but I don't know if the music itself is specific historical tunes.

I don’t know how else to describe it. Historical might not be the right term because there are presumably modern musicians composing this stuff. Use of traditional instruments (like a guzheng) in traditional music styles I guess.

Not inspired by traditional music or using traditional instruments in popular music.

So...traditional. That is the only term I can use to describe what I’m looking for. Folk music maybe? But that is a broad category. I like Chinese mountain songs (Shan’ge), but it took my ages to find what that was called.

Because searching “Chinese folk music” or “Japanese folk music” nets a lot of results that aren’t what I’m looking for.
