Yokai – the concert

Welcome to a concert with Big Engband, where the Japanese spirit world comes to life and takes shape in music.

The beings of the Japanese spirit world have different characteristics and expressions.

This has been the starting point for jazz trombonist and composer Daniel Eng, who has spent several years composing the big-band work Yokai – the concert.

With a firm foundation in jazz—but with excursions into funk, pop and Swedish folk song—the big band Big Engband brings to life both the supernatural and the ghostly aspects of the Japanese spirit world, while always keeping a warm focus on life and all it encompasses.
