芸能山城組 or Geinoh Yamashirogumi is a Japanese musical collective founded on January 19, 1974 by Shoji Yamashiro, consisting of hundreds of people from all walks of life: journalists, doctors, engineers, students, businessmen, etc. The array of talents and ideas available brings a peerless degree of creativity to their work, which is known for skillful fusion of traditional music with high technology. Their early albums were marked by a distinct world influence, with works such as Chi No Hibiki (Echoes of the Earth Sing East Europe) displaying Bulgarian and other eastern European singing styles and Africa Genjoh (The African Vision Singing) featuring African styalised chanting. Osore-zan - Dou No Kenbai, furhermore, offered a more psychedelic flavor with Krautrock influences and the introduction of guitar work.
Their work for Akira soundtrack is simply amazing. From the very beginning of the soundtrack starts this tribal like music that perfectly fits in the futuristic concrete jungle of Neo Tokyo. The tribal music is dominant but there is also an large array of other music from ambient to authentic Japanese traditional music. One of my favorite soundtracks.
