Urban World Music

This veteran group has been dazzling listeners for more than a decade with their unique mix of jazz, pop and traditional Japanese sounds, but Hiroshima's 2nd Qwest album represents their most eclectic and innovative work to date. This album, produced by U.K. producer Robin Millar (Sade, Fine Young Cannibals, Everything But the Girl) introduces new lead vocalist Kimaya Seward and features guest vocals by Hamish Stewart (Average White Band) on 3 tracks. Hiroshima begins a major U.S. tour in August.
