We have compiled folk songs from the North and South American continents. There is a mixture of a wide variety of cultures in the vast American continents. During the initial phases of colonisation, most of the music were European and British folk songs or hymns, but due to slavery afterwards, African culture was introduced and black spiritual, and son (rumba) in Spanish territories, samba in Portuguese territories, and furthermore mixed race music such as folklore were born.
These all possess robust energy that does not exist in monoculture. The music with such tendencies may be so foreign and not favoured by the Japanese, but in order to do away with old categories, try abandoning yourself to the torrent of their rhythm and beat.
