AWAY FROM KNOWN | CREATIVE TRADITION

Japanese culture, music and art is widely promoted overseas and it's rather easy to capture the attention and interest of foreigners who find the Japanese culture cool, exotic and interesting. But we believe that it is even more important to promote the culture in Japan. The younger generation tends to focus on new foreign trends and do not know much about the traditional culture and arts of their own country.

That is also one of the main focuses of Ethnopunk project and its musical journey
"Following pilgrimage steps of Ancient Japan"

We will share with all our members and fans the EP vision in more detail,
give you access to backstage interviews, video recordings from live performances,
and we can talk to each-other directly, share ideas and so much much more.

Thank you for reading and looking forward meeting you inside.

Ethnopunk is the evolution of ethnic music. We focus on learning about traditional art, studying and mastering musical systems, but rather than representing and preserving the tradition, skills and techniques are used to search for new authentic expressions. Ethnopunk is creating ethnic music of the present and not presenting the music of the past.
