Product Description
Agatsuma is one of the new generation of tsugaru shamisen players, who combines the fast plucking of the three stringed lute with rock, jazz, dance and other styles of music. It's a formula that has its limitations and shelf-life, but Agatusuma has consistently made interesting albums and this one, his sixth, is no exception. It's based around the theme of 'matsuri', local festivals, his shamisen accompanied by great percussion playing plus shakuhachi (bamboo flute) and other instruments. Ten tracks of both original and traditional tunes.
