-Minyo Crusaders-
Freddie Tsukamoto (vocals), meg (vocals, piano), Katsumi Tanaka (guitar), DADDY U (bass), Moe (keyboards), Sonoo Ide (timbales), Mutsumi Kobayashi (bongos), Irochi (congas), Stephan Yamauchi (tp), Koichiro Osawa (sax) Minyo Crusaders is a band that revives the fusion of Japanese folk music and Latin rhythms that great pioneers such as Tokyo Cuban Boys and Noche Cubana attempted with great ambition shortly after the war in the 21st century. Guitarist Katsumi Tanaka, owner of the US military house "Banana House" in Fussa, a city in western Tokyo where Yokota Air Base is located, met with genuine folk singer Freddie Tsukamoto at a nearby bar, and formed the band in 2012 with fans of fringe music from around Fussa. The band has continued to play house sessions that were common in Fussa since the 1970s and continues to this day.
