Minyo Crusaders (Template:Lang-ja) is a Japanese musical group that reworks traditional Japanese folk songs (min'yō) with arrangements inspired by various international music genres, including Caribbean, Latin and African music. The group was co-founded by Katsumi Tanaka and Freddie Tsukamoto, with the goal of reviving min'yō as a "music for the people".[1][2]
They released their first album, Echoes of Japan in 2017 on P-Vine Records.[3] The album was later reissued on Mais Um in 2019.[4]
