Minyo Crusaders

The name Minyo Crusaders isn’t just something that sounds cool. It embodies the overarching mission of this Japanese collective. You see, “minyo” is a collective term for forgotten Japanese folk songs, which the Crusaders splice with traditional styles that haven’t been forgotten: reggae, cumbia, and ska for example. Makes sense when you think about it, right? Never mind the music itself being as infectious as it is original.
