Debuting in 1970 in the midst of Japan’s folk music boom, Kagawa has released more than a dozen albums over the last four-and-a-half decades, incorporating elements of folk, rock, country, and even gospel into an ongoing musical commentary that grapples with topics ranging from war to geopolitics to the natures of music and love. Ryo Kagawa has inspired some of the biggest-selling names in contemporary Japanese music. His performance here at the University of Chicago is his first-ever North American performance.
