グナワ文化とブルースに精通し独自の融合を行うThe Firefly Clan（津嶋利仁）と、世界的コンピ「Red Hot + Rio 2」への参加などをキャリアハイライトとしながら音楽と社会の新しい関わりを模索する安田寿之は、信頼し合う仲間として共作・共演を行ってきた。今作は、The Firefly Clanが沖縄の美しい宿somosで行ったギターと歌の録音をベースに、安田寿之がフェルトピアノをダビングし仕上げた連作。人と自然が結び付くような深淵さを醸す音響により、シンガーソングライター曲が無上のアンビエントに廓大されている。

Well versed in Gnawa music and blues, The Firefly Clan (a.k.a Toshihito Tsushima) has been pursuing a unique style of fusion music. Toshiyuki Yasuda, with his participation in the global compilation "Red Hot + Rio 2" as one of the highlights of his career, continues to explore new relationships between music and society. They have been collaborating and occasionally producing and performing together as trusted partners in music. The album is the works in which Toshiyuki Yasuda dubs felt piano based on guitar and vocal recordings made by The Firefly Clan at the beautiful inn in Okinawa "somos". The singer-songwriter's songs are elevated to a supreme ambient soundscape, evoking a profound connection between people and nature.
