Jagatara was aJapanese band centered onEdo Akemi. They are renowned for their unique sound, which has been described as a mixture ofrock, especiallypunk,funk andreggae.
The band formed in March, 1979, and released their first album 'Nanban Torai' 「南蛮渡来」in 1982. Their multi-musical approach resulted in collaborations with differing artists from around the world, such asMute Beat,John Zorn, andMahotella Queens. On January 27, 1990, Edo died, and the band broke up shortly after. Since that time there has been an annual concert held by the Shinjuku loft venue in honour of the band, featuring numerous guest musicians performing Jagatara songs.
Jagatara reunited asJagatara2020 for the first time in 30 years and released the single "Nijiiro Fanfare" on January 29, 2020.[1]
