Suddenly, I realized, my mother was the main influence of my music taste...
COBA, the most unknown musician by my friends, but this Japanese accordionist is truly a genius. Why? Listen to these following songs, then you will fall in love with him. I just don't know why none of my friends knows him! What a shame!
And it's such a shame that US iTunes does not have any of his albums..........!
Ok, I gotta calm down... Thanks to YouTube, art is shared world wide. :)
Here's another song, and we get to see his performance.
When I was in elementary school, my mom was a hotel manager. She used to listen to Coba's music at night to relax from her stressed work. Every time I listen to his music with my mom, I feel very relaxed, but at the same time, lifted. I don't know how to explain. I feel liberated...? I don't get the same feeling from any other musicians.
