Despite being a recently reunited group from the ’90s the Los Angeles visit by the food-fixated Japanese expatriates was anything but yet another nostalgia trip.
It was three years ago that Cibo Matto, the Tokyo-via-NYC duo of sound-shaper Yuka Honda and vocalist Miho Hatori, resumed their creative partnership, initially for a summer tour that landed the pair on a triple bill at the Hollywood Bowl.
Since reuniting last spring, the trip-hop duo of Miho Hatori and Yuka Honda have participated in three charity concerts from March to June, toured the country in July, and worked on a new album due next year.
