THE BOOM Essentials
Playlist - 21 Songs
THE BOOM mix a variety of global influences into their heartfelt, crowd-pleasing rock. Their most famous songs incorporate the string instruments and winding melodies of traditional Okinawan music—like their 1992 signature, “Shima Uta,” which has been covered by several artists in Japan and beyond. But their genre explorations through the years have drawn from Jamaican ska and reggae, Indonesian gamelan music, and Brazilian bossa nova styles to bolster their stirring power ballad choruses.
