Ego Wrappin' | Soulful, smooth nu-jazz
Osaka, Japan is famous for its cuisine--takoyaki and okonomiyaki to name a few choice dishes. Osaka people are not only known for their love of food, but also for their humour and quirky personalities wholeheartedly expressed in popular comedic and musical genres. The boys behind the comedy duo Downtown (watch them in action here) prove this point, as does Shonen Knife with their eclectic beats.
Yet out of the bustle of "loud" Osaka has arisen EGO WRAPPIN', a southful, smooth nu-jazz band. The two main members, Yoshie Nakano (vocals) and Masaki Mori (guitarist) blend together a sensual sound that has converted many towards their sound that blends nu-jazz with rock, reggae and pop.
Take a listen...you will be hooked (videos under the cut)...and as they say, it don't matter if you don't understand Japanese.
