Stop what you’re doing, give yourself a 9 minute break, put on some headphones or put it through a decent sound system and just listen to one of the most beautiful performances you’ll ever hear.

Wow. Unfortunately there ain’t any footage of it. But a few photos. AC/DC played her legendary short gig at CBGB’s

Haruomi Hosono, Bon Voyage Co. (1976), “Roochoo Gumbo”

Hosono’s monkey business: A postcolonial analysis on mirroring as a subversive technique

Hosono connected the Japanese islands of Okinawa to New Orleans in the song “Roochoo Gumbo.” He imagined a journey from Okinawa to New Orleans (or vice versa) created a melange of sound that met the two places in the middle. Hosono did not only bring together the two respective flavors in a musical sense but also expressed this mix of flavors in the form of a fictional dish
 Roochoo
 refers to Okinawa as a heteronym for the collection of islands. Gumbo refers to the popular New Orleans stew and the state dish of Louisiana, but it is an additional reference to the New Orleans musician Dr. John and his album Dr. John’s Gumbo (1972) to which Hosono had declared his enthusiasm


“Roochoo Gumbo” opens with a funky piano riff reminiscent of Dr. John
 He chose to appropriate some of Okinawa’s vocal styles for some parts of “Roochoo Gumbo.” During the verses Hosono sings in a distinguished Okinawan style
 While Hosono sings in Japanese, the female vocalists that enter by the second half of the song sing in Okinawan, which is syntactically compatible [with] but lexically and phonetically different from Japanese. The female vocalists remain what appears to be authentic to the Okinawan kachashi style and can be heard singing with intentional vocal breaks recognizable to Okinawan music


“Roochoo Gumbo” fades out with a brief quote of the song “Haisai Ojisan,” the first attempt to blend rock and kachashi rhythm. “Haisai Ojisan” was first produced by Schokichi Kina and became a major hit in Okinawa in 1972

Reminds me of


The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, Gorilla (1967), “The Intro and the Outro”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorilla_(Bonzo_Dog_Doo-Dah_Band_album)

In “The Intro and the Outro” every member of the band was introduced and played a solo, starting with genuine band members, before including such improbable members as John Wayne on xylophone, Adolf Hitler on vibes, and J. Arthur Rank on gong. Other ‘band members’ included Val Doonican, Horace Batchelor and Lord Snooty and His Pals.

That’s catchy!

Some of those names though, that’s quite a extensive range of personalities.

96

I always thought that “Princess Anne on sousaphone” was especially funny. The full list of performers is in this article:

Haha, and the 18 piece band - “on the triangle” :sweat_smile:
