Your bucket list (an expression I abhor) is growing by every note of music you hear! Let’s hope one of these fave groups plays soon in Rome or Milan! 🤣🙏🤗

What an amazing group. Your description and background on these artists is so perfect and well-researched. I'm in awe of the talent and the overall presentation. The lead singer is amazing and there's really no comparison to other sounds I've heard. I keep trying to find a reference for groups that I am familiar with but nothing comes to mind! Gorgeous video in the wilderness too.

Amazing music. Gorgeous video. The drums remind me of Japanese taiko drums. The big one is very similar to the Odaiko drum. I think I told you this, but I got high with the Tuvan throat-singing band Huun Huur Tu at the Womad festival back in 2000. They were massive stoners.

Actually you had not told me that! Quite an enviable experience (I don't actually take well to pot, but substitute another form of chemical entertainment....) "O" is Japanese for "big" or "great", so it makes sense--Odaiko means "Big Drum"!
