I can't be the only one who couldn't figure out which language they were using for far too long.

Love how singing can so often remove the accent. Ever heard Adele speak?

I've still got my copy of Flatt and Scruggs with the Foggy Mountain Boys - Live in Japan. Originally recorded in the late 60's/early 70's. Such a long history of Bluegrass in Japan.

Japan loves a diversity of music from rock, jazz, bluegrass to country.

Music isn't a nationality, it's a feeling.

I don't think any ethnicity is capable of making bluegrass sound good.

I'll admit I'm a damn Yankee but love some good bluegrass. And she's good at picking which IMO is key. If they were at a local bar, I'd stay until I get kicked out, no lie.

Bluegrass is Appalachian, not southern. The banjo’s from Africa, blues/jazz is Afro-American, and the rest is Scottish/Irish. I only point it out cuz while it’s true mountain folk were largely ambivalent about the Civil War, most went for the Union when pressed.

All that matters is they are having a good time.

Love it! When I was working in Tokyo I went to a large underground (read basement) Irish bar with live music. The band was all Japanese, playing flute, fiddle, Irish drum and accordion. They had chops too. Awesome.

Country and bluegrass is weirdly popular in Asian countries. I met my first serious girlfriend this way. Her father brought the family over from Japan for the Galax Old Time Fiddler’s Convention and decided to stay here and work for a while. We dated for 3 years until he decided to go back and I was too poor to follow.

Oh, but all genres went to Asia and are doing well.
Bluegrass, Jazz, Fusion, Funk, Metal, Punk, you name it. And they recovered stronger and better than ever.
Name your genre, I'll give you a band.

This reminds me of the time I met a couple of Japanese guys on the campgrounds at a blues festival in Mississippi in the early 2000s. Neither of them spoke a word of English, but they had learned a bunch of old classic songs from records by T-Bone Walker, Howlin' Wolf, Blind Boy Fuller, etc. We got together and played into the wee hours every night of the 3 or 4 days of the festival, just jamming and passing bottles around, language barrier be damned.

Was it the chunky blues festival?

I think it was either the Chunky or the MS Delta blues and heritage festival. I was going to so many festivals back then it's hard to keep all the memories straight.

Somewhat true, not actually true. It gets filtered by ideological culture, for example western composers for a long time didn’t respect or understand the many modes or quarter-tone (notes less than a semitone apart, the smallest structural interval in Western European music) nature of middle eastern music.
