Japanesque by Daniel Forró

This CD contains a selection of my works inspired by Japan and its culture, music and religion, in music style combining elements of Japanese and Western music, folk music of Japan, Moravia and other world regions, rock, jazz, pop, New music as well as experimental electronic & computer music. Works were composed in 1989, 2003, 2004, 2010 and 2012 and recorded in my studio in 2003, 2004 and 2012.

Dedicated to the memory of victims of Tohoku natural disaster on March 11, 2011.

Part of income from selling this CD will be sent to Japanese charity organization Kokkyo naki kodomotachi (Children Without Borders) supporting children stricken with catastrophe.
