Casiopea: Live

A very relaxing background video compilation of footage of the Fiji islands, backed with the slick Jazz-Fusion tracks by Issei Noro who is best known as the guitarist for the Japanese band Casiopea! See the beautiful islands of Fiji as we fly into the city of Nadi. Then, follow our model/diver above and below the waves. Watch as she walks the warm sandy shores, dives into the beautiful coral reefs, and spends time with the friendly local residents. This BGV recording features all the songs from Issei Noro's 1989 album, "Vida," played in the same order as the music-only release. Performed with a number of well-known Brazilian musicians, the music is relaxing, yet upbeat & exciting. A perfect match for the footage! To make this video even sweeter, the video ends with a Carioca tune!
