Setsubun Bean Unit
Biography
During a 2005 residency, UK group Farmyard Animals Trio discovered the Japanese spring festival of Setsubun during which soya beans are thrown into the air to cast away demons and bring good luck. The group extrapolated the musical ceremony and the powerful rhythms of the summer Bon Odori festival and joined forces with local folk musicians to create the invigorating sound of Setsubun Bean Unit. Japanese Space funk rinsed through a dub blender!
