About Eujapica

World-Music-Meeting is a collaborative studio album released in 1985 on the German label Eigelstein Musikproduktion. The recording features an international ensemble of musicians from jazz, avant-garde, and world music traditions. The primary format of the release is a 12\" vinyl record.

The album includes the track Eujapica as the opening piece on side A. The composition runs for six minutes and thirty seconds. The performance unites Japanese shakuhachi player Yamamoto Kōzan, American jazz saxophonist Charlie Mariano, Argentine bandoneón virtuoso Juan José Mosalini, Polish violinist and composer Krzesimir Dębski, German experimental reedist Alfred 23 Harth, American vibraphonist and pianist Karl Berger, German free-jazz bassist Peter Kowald, British trombonist Ken Johnson, American saxophonist Ponda O’Bryan, Indian percussionist Trilok Gurtu, and American drummer Barry Altschul.

The album title reflects its cross-cultural intent, blending improvisational approaches with structured compositions. The label Eigelstein Musikproduktion, based in Cologne, Germany, produced the work during a period of increased experimentation in transnational jazz and world music fusions. Additional details about the recording sessions, production personnel, or the full tracklist remain undocumented in available sources.
