Maybe it is just me but it seems that this year at Fuji Rock there seems to be a drastic increase in the number of artists who are either from Central or South America or play music which sounds like it is from that area. In these two and a half days I must have heard at Latin, especially Cumbia, on at least 10 occasions at different stages. Baianasystem are a Brazilian crew of live musicians and electronic sound technicians led by producer Robertinho Barreto. According their website, the focus of the whole project is to explore the sonic possibilities of a guitar like instrument called a Bahia. Listening to the reverb laden dub inspired bass lines and echoing vocals, it was unusual to see the player of this tiny guitar getting such a massive sound out of it.
