*200 copies limited edition* Kobe-based musician Haco is a vocalist and composer who also plays electronics, keyboard, guitar and percussion. Since she launched her musical activities in the early 1980s as a member of the band After Dinner, Haco has been a dazzling presence on the Japanese and international pop/rock/experimental music scenes through her work as solo artist and member of numerous bands as well as collaborations with many musicians.
In spring 2002, Haco undertook her first North American tour as a solo artist. This CD documents a performance from that tour, held on April 29 at Mama Gala's in Cambridge, Massachusetts. On its seven tracks, Hako sings and plays instruments she brought with her for the tour. Twenty years later, the monumental album "Another Souvenir" brings that timeless performance back to life.
