PoiL Ueda

PoiL Ueda is the result of a collaboration between Junko Ueda, a vocalistand satsuma-biwa player from Japan, and PoiL, a French rock/contemporary music band. The creation is basedon the 13th-century Japanese epic tale 'Heike Monogatari.'The composition is based on traditional epic singing accompanied by the satsuma-biwa and Buddhist Shomyo chant. Through the fusion of an ancient Japanese traditional music with a hyper modern European musical formation, this project offers the opportunity to discover a unique musical universe. An innovative performance where PoiL's unrestrained experimental rock blends with the mellow and sinuous voice, the compelling narrative, and the remarkable charisma of Junko Ueda. Unexpected encounter between Junko Ueda, eminent figure of the Japanese medieval epic storytelling, whose warm and profound voice summons the terrestrial energies, and the organic madness of the monster PoiL practicing with cosmic rock without net.
