In the early ’90s, the epicenter of Memphis hip-hop was a nondescript brick building at the corner of Larkin and Cleveland Streets.

It’s easy to be swept up by the sublime beauty of an Ichiko Aoba song: Her crystalline voice and classical guitar are arresting, exuding a quiet patience that seems to lower the volume of everything around it. She’s ostensibly a folk artist, but the transfixing nature of her work feels more like sorcery, as if she were weaving spells from each filigreed guitar figure and porcelain syllable.
