This is the festival song to god of the forest based on mountain worship. YAMA means mountain and UTA means song in Japanese.
The instrument played in this song is called Shakuhachi.The shakuhachi is a Japanese end-blown flute.It was originally introduced from China into Japan in the 6th century and underwent a resurgence in the early Edo Period. The shakuhachi is traditionally made of bamboo, but versions now exist in ABS and hardwoods. It was used by the monks of the Fuke school of Zen Buddhism in the practice of suizen (blowing meditation).
A joyous and mind-blowing combination of Afrofunk rhythms and traditional Japanese instrumentation, “Abrada” is kaleidoscopic party music. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 5, 2017
