Eddy Christiani - Little Geisha Du Du Liegst Mir Im Herzen

Review by Dennis Burns

Little Geisha Du Du Liegst Mir Im Herzen is an album by the Dutch musician Eddy Christiani. Released in 1952, the album features a collection of traditional Japanese folk songs, performed in Christiani's unique style. The album is a delightful blend of East and West, with Christiani's guitar adding a touch of Western influence to the Japanese melodies.

The album's title track, "Du Du Liegst Mir Im Herzen," is a German folk song that has become popular in Japan. Christiani's version of the song is a highlight of the album, with his guitar playing perfectly complementing the simple, yet beautiful melody.

Other standout tracks on the album include "Sakura," a traditional Japanese song that has become a symbol of the beauty and transience of life, and "Haru No Umi," a hauntingly beautiful piece that captures the essence of the sea in springtime.
