·As reviewed in sing-along tunes. "Bamboo Flute Lullabies of Japan", however, is a CD full of rich, textural, enchanting music from a great Japanese tradition. The nine soothing melodies of this CD are all derived from folk-song lullabies of rural Japan. The artists have chosen not to include lyrics, however, leaving only delicate, traditional instrumental music. The recording uses Japanese instruments, combined with keyboards, guitar and percussion. The nine thematic melodies are performed on the shakuhachi, a bamboo flute with a haunting, rich tone, which originated in China, and was further developed in Medieval Japan as a Zen meditation tool.

This recording is no exception: it is full of the wonderful soothing sounds one expects from traditional Japanese music."
