Modern troubadour Tavito Nanao merges stripped-down acoustic guitar with a wide range of contemporary flourishes, from rap interludes to floor-ready beats. Initially focused on creating sparse acoustic folk numbers and grungier rock cuts, Nanao eventually branched out to explore other styles, punctuated by his popular collaboration with rapper YAKENOHARA “Rollin' Rollin'.” He's been restless since, penning slowed-down funk numbers (“Circus Night”) and joining up with Japanese juke producer Boogie Mann for skittery pop (“Future Running”).
